Divorce in Australia

Going through a divorce can be a stressful period in anyone’s life. The mental stress involved can be quite significant. It is imperative that you engage a family law barrister to ensure your rights are effectively represented.

Child Custody

Whilst the Family Law Legislation in Australia acts in the “best interests of the child”, this can be open to a variety of interpretations. It is important to engage suitable legal representation from the outset to ensure that your rights as a parent are exercised with respect to your children.

Spousal Maintenance

When parties separate, sometimes a claim can be put in for one partner to financially support the other partner where that partner is unable to adequately support themselves amongst other things. This can create a large financial burden on the party providing support, and a large financial benefit for the party receiving support. It’s imperative that whichever party you are, that you engage a Family Law Barrister to make sure your rights are represented.

Property Settlement

After years of building up family assets and contributing to the family, it can be quite disheartening to see the value disappear during the dissolution of a partnership or marriage. It’s best to engage a Family Law Barrister as soon as possible to make sure your assets are preserved to the full extent of the law.

Recent Results

During a messy separation, my client was concerned about losing his fair share of the family home and was also concerned about the cost of legal expenses. Initially his partner did not agree to a 50/50 split of the family home and wanted to litigate the matter. Through protracted negotiations with her legal representatives, it was agreed that the matter could be finalised by a 50/50 split with consent, therefore potentially saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. This resulted in my client receiving approximately $400,000 as part of his settlement. A great result for my client who can now get on with his life.

After a couple’s relationship broke down, there was a dispute about who their only child should live with. I was acting for the father who was seeking sole custody. During a 3 day hearing at Parramatta Family Law Court, I had the opportunity of cross examining the defendant mother, and other people involved in the child’s life about inter alia what would be in the best interests of the child concerned. This is the paramount consideration under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) contained within section 60CA. After the 3 day hearing, the learned Judge was of the view that sole custody should be granted to my client, being the applicant father and as such the order was made. This was a great result for my client who can now move forward with his family life knowing that he has sole custody of his child as per the Family Law Court order.
