Common questions about family law
What does family law in Australia cover?
Family law in Australia covers divorce, separation, property settlement, parenting arrangements, child support, domestic violence orders, and binding financial agreements.
How long does a typical family law case take?
It depends on complexity and whether the matter settles by agreement or proceeds to court — straightforward matters can resolve in months, while contested court proceedings can take considerably longer.
Do de facto couples have the same rights?
De facto couples have similar rights to married couples under the Family Law Act, though different time limits apply for bringing a claim.
What are the costs involved?
Costs vary by matter and approach — we provide upfront, transparent fee estimates and offer fixed-fee options for many services.
Do you need a lawyer in family court?
You're not legally required to have a lawyer, but representation helps protect your interests and ensures your matter is handled correctly.
What do family lawyers do?
Family lawyers advise on your rights and options, negotiate on your behalf, prepare and file documents, and represent you in mediation or court.
