Family Lawyers
and De facto Law

Without doubt, family law including separating or divorcing someone could be the most emotional, and costly, time of your life.

We can help you navigate the family law through this time so that it is one less thing that you have to focus on.

It is very important that you get the right legal advice in relation to your family law matter when thinking of separating so that you’re aware of your rights when dividing up the assets or acting in the best interests of your children in parenting agreements. It can be an amicable separation (uncontested) or, more often than not, not amicable (contested divorce). We can help you with your family law matter in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley.

LITIGATION AND ADVOCACY IN FAMILY LAW
The choice is yours – if you want a fixed fee litigation where you pay based on each step in the process or event and the action or work that needs to be done. Or, I can work for an hourly rate.
I can appear for you in the early stages of a matter rather than counsel but it is usually better for counsel to be briefed if the matter goes to a defended hearing. I will advise you of your options at the outset so you can make an informed decision.
