Court Support
What happens at first mention family court? The judge will list the matter for a Mention. This is basically a short period of time before the judge where he, or she, checks that the people involved in the case have done all that they need to do in order to progress to the next stage. You may feel more confident having a lawyer with you on the day. Mentions are often done via video link.

Attending Mediation
Your lawyer attending mediation is there to offer legal advice to you, usually in a private session, of the possible settlement options canvassed. Lawyers will often ‘reality test’ proposals for settlement to see that they legally meet your requirements and also those needed for a court to enforce the decision. Your lawyer is there to ensure that you understand the legal ramification of any agreement reached.

Divorce
We understand that going through a divorce can be one of the most challenging times in a person’s life. That’s why getting in contact with a specialised divorce lawyer is essential in ensuring you receive the best possible guidance and support throughout your case. Either as a sole applicant or joint, we can assist you to navigate this process calmly and with respect.
5
Wills
A valid Will is essential to ensure that a deceased person’s estate is distributed according to their specific wishes after their death. Until divorce occurs, even though all assets have been distributed according to the wishes of each partner, the current will remains as the primary instrument used in the distribution of those assets, in the event of death.
6
Super Splitting
Often when you do a property settlement, one party will agree to transfer some of their superannuation to the other party as part of the settlement agreement. This process needs to be done in a certain order under the guidelines of the Court and the client's superannuation fund. In order to 'split super', certain procedures must be followed carefully. This cost is often shared between the parties.

Recovery Orders
A child recovery order is an order of the court requiring a child to be returned to either the child’s parent or to an individual who has a parenting order.
For serious matters, child recovery orders can be processed immediately. For less serious matters, they can take a week or more. However, the court generally prioritises cases involving children and schedules the court date as soon as possible.
9
Contravention Order
Contravention orders are legal actions taken when someone violates a court order, such as a parenting order or property order, in family law. They allow the court to address the breach and potentially impose consequences on the person who failed to comply.
The primary purpose of a contravention application is to seek consequences for the breach of a court order.
It allows the court to investigate the alleged breach and determine if it was intentional or without reasonable excuse.
