Where it is possible, our Brisbane Family Lawyers encourage the use of cost-effective methods such as non-adversarial alternative dispute resolution and can draft agreements where parties have come to their own Family Law resolution. In the event a matter cannot be resolved using these techniques, our team of highly skilled Family Lawyers in Brisbane will discuss a course of action that will bring your matter to a swift resolution such as filing an application in the Federal Circuit and Family Court.

PROPERTY SETTLEMENT
At Brisbane City Lawyers we assist you to come to a fair and equitable agreement in relation to all financial matters and issues arising from the breakdown of a relationship, including the division of assets and liabilities, spousal maintenance, superannuation and child support. Those arrangements can then be formalised and secured by way of Consent Orders or a Binding Financial Agreement depending upon circumstances.
PARENTING / CHILDREN
Many relationship breakdowns involve children which often leaves the question, How will the children spend time with their mother and father post-separation? The paramount consideration in all disputes involving children is the concept of the “child’s best interests”. Disputes about children can be resolved by the drafting of parenting plans or by draft minutes of consent which are submitted to the court to make orders.
DIVORCE
Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage by a Court. It is not an all encompassing application and is separate to matters such as parenting, property division and/or maintenance. In Australia, we have a no fault divorce system. Neither party is required to prove that either party was at fault and there does not need to be an agreement between the parties to initiate proceedings. The divorce process is designed to be relatively easy and straightforward, however, complications can arise
Domestic Violence
At Brisbane City Lawyers our domestic violence and protection solicitors are experienced in dealing with issues of family violence and the sensitivities of protecting and defending clients against what can be a difficult dynamic. If you are experiencing emotional, physical or economic abuse at the hands of a family member, you may be able to apply for a court order againt that person to protect your right to peace and quiet, undisturbed by threats to your wellbeing or your quality of life.
child support
Child support is a term used to describe the payment of money from one parent to the other for the purpose of helping the parent raise their children who are under 18 years of age. All children in Australia whose parents have separated, whether or not the parents were married to each other, are eligible for child support payments. A child is defined as under 18 years of age.
mediation
At Brisbane City Lawyers we encourage our clients to mediate disputes. Mediation is a way of resolving disputes between people in conflict, usually facilitated by a neutral person. Separated families are encouraged to use family mediation to help resolve their disputes, instead of using the family law courts. If a dispute can be resolved through mediation, it will be significantly less expensive than having to go to court.
spousal maintenance
Spouse maintenance is financial support paid by a party to a marriage to their former husband or wife in circumstances where they are unable to adequately support themselves. Under the Family Law Act 1975, a person has a responsibility to financially assist their spouse or former de facto partner, if that person cannot meet their own reasonable expenses from their personal income or assets.
court representation
You can’t always pick your battles, but you can pick an experienced Family Lawyer to resolve your dispute. Our forward-thinking solicitors have a breadth of knowledge and expertise in providing strategic legal advice and formidable court representation. Seeking advice from our family lawyers can be the difference between the swift and efficient handling of a disagreement or drawn out litigation proceedings.
