Family Lawyers are extremely necessary if you are facing the breakdown of your marriage or de facto relationship and in particular where children under the age of 18 years are involved and where you may own property or have an interest in superannuation.
It is important that you engage a family lawyer that you trust; someone who will be watching over your best interests. Property adjustments, child custody issues and maintenance issues are areas that your family lawyer will assist you in and the choice of family lawyer will make a difference to the outcome of your matter.
A caring and competent Family lawyer will work with you to ascertain all the facts about your matter and will seek information from you with regards to your financial position and that of your ex-partners, with regards to any family violence issues and whether the parenting arrangement of the children, if you have any, are working or not.
