Separation and legal divorce info, in Australia

Know your rights

Following separation, it’s vital to clearly understand:

• Your legal rights
• Your child’s legal rights
• The legal process of divorce

Unfortunately many people are reluctant to see a lawyer – because of their fear of high legal fees, their partner’s potential reaction, their uncertainty about what to ask, or simply because they are intimidated by lawyers and the legal process.

Make the legal process easier and cheaper

We make the legal process more efficient by helping you:

• Complete a legal template that we give your lawyer before your initial consultation with them, so they have everything they need to give you advice.
• Identify the key legal questions you need answered, and help you prepare the information your lawyer will need.
• Understand the legal processes underpinning divorce, financial and parenting agreements.
• Understand your legal advice and the practical ramifications of that advice for you and any children.

All these steps help to keep your legal costs as low as possible.

Get help communicating with your lawyer

While we do not offer legal advice, we can also:

• Attend meetings with your lawyer to ensure that your issues are addressed and support you during that meeting.
• Ensure you clearly comprehend the legal, financial, parenting, negotiation and even emotional implications of your lawyer’s advice.

We can do these as required during your separation or divorce, to help you get the most from your lawyer.
