When separating from your spouse or domestic partner, is it important to seek legal advice, as there are many things to consider at this difficult time.

A lawyer will be able to assist you by:

  • Reducing your stress at a highly emotional time, as an objective party.
  • Providing critical information with respect to the timeframes that must be adhered to in order to preserve your claim.
  • Understanding all potential courses of action to find the most appropriate approach for you, whether it be mediation, collaborative, adversarial or matters by consent.
  • Understanding all prospective claims, such as spousal maintenance claims or superannuation splitting orders.
  • Ensuring potential future issues of conflict are identified in cases of shared care of children such as special occasions, travel and medical treatment.
