Family and Relationship Law.

Marriage and relationship breakdowns are emotional and impactful. We are here to listen carefully to understand your needs and goals and guide you through the complexity of the family law system.

We have a reputation for going above and beyond. Our approach is “all-encompassing” offering supportive counsel as well as strategic legal advice. We tailor our services to your individual circumstances.

We can help you

Financial Agreements

A sought after area of expertise for our clients is the preparation of Financial Agreements for relationships commencing (pre-nuptial agreements) and continuing relationships (cohabitation agreements) which provide for the division of property and financial resources in the event of separation. We recommend seeking advice to understand if it is the right option for you. 

Separation and Divorce

Separation occurs when one party to a marriage or de facto relationship communicates to the other party that the marriage or relationship is over and that there is no prospect of reconciliation. We can assist with advice on what to do before and after separation and how to obtain a divorce. 

Property and Financial Settlements

We have extensive experience in navigating complex family related financial issues including family and unit trusts, companies, partnerships, businesses, self-managed superannuation funds and overseas assets. Our pragmatic approach will help you achieve a sensible outcome.

Children and Parenting Arrangements

Following separation, reaching agreement on appropriate arrangements for the care of children is a priority of the parents. Our empathetic approach and expertise will help to guide you through the process and determine the best arrangements for your children.

Child Support and Spousal Maintenance

Often a primary concern in separation is financial security for our clients and their children. We are able to advise our clients with respect to child support and spousal maintenance.     

What you can expect

Bespoke proposal with no surprises pricing

Unlike many other Family Law firms, we provide you with a personalised proposal and fixed fee for our services. This enables us to take our time to understand your unique situation and needs. It is important to us that you feel comfortable to provide information and ask questions without ‘watching the clock’.

Holistic team

Whether you are at the beginning of your relationship and want to plan for your financial future or at the end of your relationship, such events naturally lead to the beginning of a new chapter in your life. We are able to offer other specialised services at Moores to provide a holistic approach to all your needs including estate planning, superannuation, property, conveyancing and other service providers.

A supportive and sensitive approach

Our approach to resolving family and relationship law matters is to first adopt conciliatory methods such as negotiation and mediation, without the need for costly and lengthy litigation. Where agreement cannot be reached and litigation is necessary, our team has a thorough knowledge of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia process and rules. Attending court can be a confronting experience for our clients, however we are there to guide and support you through the process.
