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.
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.
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.
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. For expert family law help, turn to experienced family law lawyers or a reputable family law firm like Lawpoint.
