Family Law is a minefield of urban myths, bush lawyers and unfounded fears. This Blog series is intended to be an introductory mix of practical family law information and comment, derived from over 25 years experience as a hands on family lawyer, who still loves working in this fascinating field of law!

I will cover issues that most frequently confront people when their relationship breaks down; from points to consider when making arrangements about your children, to what is fair in a property settlement, when can you move with the children, how to get a divorce, legal fees and lots more!

If you have family law problem, or thinking of separating and wondering what your options are, this blog series will provide you with a general picture of what to expect, the questions you need to ask, information that your lawyer or the court will need, or types of solutions that you might consider.

Of course, I will not be giving specific legal advice – if that’s what you need, consult a family lawyer. It’s important to find out your legal rights and responsibilities early during the separation.

So check in every two or three weeks for the latest update. If there are family law topics you’d like to hear about, let me know and I’ll add them to the list.

While each article is carefully drafted and checked at the time of writing, the law can change with new legislation or significant cases. These articles are not intended as legal advice and if you have a legal issue, you should always obtain independent and competent legal advice specific to your circumstances.
