One client, one focus,
every matter a father faces.

Fathers in Australia can secure substantial, enforceable time with their children. The Family Law Act presumes a child has the right to a meaningful relationship with both parents — our job is making that real for you.

We start with negotiation and Family Dispute Resolution (mediation). Arrangements parents reach themselves tend to last longer than orders a judge imposes. If agreement isn't possible, we apply for parenting orders and represent you through every stage: interim hearings, family reports, Independent Children's Lawyers, and final hearings.

The decisions you make in the first weeks of separation — about the house, the kids' routine, money — shape everything that follows. Get advice before you agree to anything, not after.

From day one we cover living arrangements, interim parenting schedules, financial disclosure, and the divorce application (available 12 months after separation). Early advice routinely prevents the expensive disputes that informal arrangements create.

If your child has been taken or withheld, or your ex plans to move them away, the court can order their return or prevent the move — and these applications can be made urgently. Time matters: contact us the day it happens.

A recovery order brings your child back to you — and can authorise police to locate and return them. Relocation disputes decide whether one parent can move a child far enough to disrupt your time. Both come down to acting fast and getting the right evidence before the court — exactly what we do every week.

Services Australia sets child support by formula — but the inputs can be wrong and assessments can be challenged. If your assessment doesn't reflect your real income, your care percentage, or your circumstances, you can do something about it.

We handle Services Australia assessments, objections, reviews, and change-of-assessment applications, plus private agreements that give both parents certainty. What you pay — or receive — should be fair. We make sure it is.

Property is not automatically split 50/50 in Australia. The division depends on contributions, future needs, and what's just and equitable — which means how your case is argued genuinely changes the outcome.

We handle the full settlement: identifying and valuing the asset pool (including super and businesses), negotiating the split, and locking it in so it can't be undone. Strict time limits apply — 12 months after divorce, 2 years after a de facto separation — so don't let a settlement drift.

A handshake deal with your ex has no legal force — it can be walked back at any time. Consent orders and binding financial agreements turn what you've agreed into something the law will stand behind.

The court approves consent orders without anyone attending. They carry the same force as orders made after a trial. Binding financial agreements can be made before, during, or after a relationship. We draft and review both. We'll tell you which suits your situation — and when a deal on the table is one you shouldn't sign.
