Common questions in family law advice

We’ve gathered some frequently asked questions family law solicitors and attorneys have answered.

• How much will this cost? You should never hesitate to ask your lawyer how much the engagement will cost. There are many uncertainties or unknowns in family law so take some time to understand the costs involved.
• Do I have to go to court? Court hearings often have financial and emotional burden on each party. It would be best to settle the matter fairly and privately. Your lawyer should focus on resolving the matter promptly and at minimal cost.
• What happens after the initial consultation? During the consultation, your lawyer will provide feedback and options for you to take moving forward.
• How do I get divorced? Family lawyers often get this question after a big fight. There is only one ground for divorce in Australia, which is that the marriage has broken down beyond repair. Both husband and wife must have been separated for at least 12 months before the application for divorce is filed.
