THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD FIRST

PARENTING MATTERS

Children are often the innocent victims caught in the crossfire of their parent’s split. We aim to help you reach an arrangement with your ex that is fair and protects the best interests of the child or children, no matter what that looks like. You have a right to a relationship with your child, and we will help you fight for it.

WE STAND BY YOUR SIDE

Parenting Law

The paramount consideration is the best interests of the child.

To determine what is in a child’s best interests we turn to section 60CC of the Family Law Act and weigh and assess the factors listed there which include.

Property & Finances
Following separation when it comes to dividing up the family assets – the home, super, furniture, cars, the boat, shares, investment properties, etc.. clients describe the process to us in terms like ‘confusing’, ‘a hideous process’ and ‘daunting’.
