"Selling our house of 18 years and trying to understand my entitlements, came with a lot of emotions, stress, and uncertainty. The whole process could have been very overwhelming, but I am so grateful to have had Romeo El Daghl by my side throughout the whole process. He always came across a fair person, and always put my concerns to the front. With all settlements finalised smoothly, I am feeling grateful and can now move on with new ventures in my life. I honestly cannot fault one single thing with the whole legal process and would always return to Romeo and his team for any future dealings."

"Since 2007 Romeo and his team have helped me with a personal injury matter, divorce settlement, property conveyancing, binding financial agreement (prenup) and my will. I would highly recommend Romeo for such matters due to his professionalism, practical approach and focus on achieving the best possible outcome at the lowest possible cost. His excellent negotiation skills ensured fair out-of-court settlements in the personal injury and divorce settlement matters. Also, Romeo and Rita are warm and friendly and a pleasure to have on my side, especially considering the stressful times when I needed help."

"Romeo and team have assisted my partner and I with wills involving Australian and overseas assets as well as with a divorce and family law. The team are professional, empathic, and efficient. I’d highly recommend them."

"Romeo was recommended to me through word of mouth, and he has been my lawyer for seven years. During this time, he has always excelled in resolving any case thrown at him. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex legal language into laypersons terms. As a lawyer Romeo is the full package and you would be hard pressed to find someone as competent, determined, trustworthy and genuinely caring as him. Without exaggeration, I don’t know what would be of my business, companies, investments, family matters and emotional wellbeing without him. He is quite simply irreplaceable."

Frequently Asked Questions

Please remember that this information is not legal advice. It should not replace legal advice. If you require legal advice, please contact Lawpoint.

I want legal advice but don't want my partner to know – is that possible?

Getting independent legal advice is important. This helps you make informed decisions about your future and your children’s future.

You can seek confidential advice from a lawyer. A lawyer cannot share confidential information. They also cannot make agreements with your partner or their lawyer unless you agree first.

Everything is in my partner’s name. What do I do?

A good family law lawyer can help you get a just and equitable share. An asset that is acquired during a marriage is considered a joint marital asset. That means, even if an asset like a house is only in your partner’s name, the court has the power to adjust it.

Even assets owned before the marriage can be treated as joint marital assets, depending on the length of the relationship. Assets acquired by one party after separation can also form part of the asset pool.

A good family law lawyer is vital to getting the best advice for your personal situation.

What happens if we can’t agree on parenting issues?

When parents can’t agree on parenting arrangements, one party may apply to the court. A child custody lawyer will guide you through the process, and the judge will set parenting orders based on your child’s best interests.

Before you file, the court requires separating families in dispute over children to attempt family dispute resolution. Exemptions—such as family violence, child abuse or urgent circumstances—allow you to skip this step.

Reaching an agreement without court intervention offers real advantages. You’ll avoid the stress of litigation, resolve matters more quickly and minimise the costs of a contested application.
