Parenting arrangements for your family’s future

Deciding on a plan that meets the best interests of the children can be challenging, but it is crucial for their well-being and future.

It is essential to ensure that your family lawyer provides clarity and certainty for all parties involved.

This means establishing clear and consistent communication, setting expectations and boundaries, and addressing any concerns or issues that may arise.

Having a solid parenting plan can also help to prevent potential conflicts and disputes between parents in the future.

The plan should outline each parent’s responsibilities, including decision-making authority, visitation schedules, and other important matters related to the children’s care and upbringing.

By working with a skilled child custody lawyer, parents can create a tailored parenting plan that meets their unique circumstances and addresses the needs of their children.

Legal Clarity For Family Law

Clarity is essential in legal proceedings because it ensures that all parties involved have a clear understanding of the situation, the relevant laws, and the potential outcomes.

Legal matters can be complex and confusing, especially for those without a legal background, so it is crucial to communicate information in a clear and concise manner.

In property settlements, clarity is particularly important.

Both parties need to understand the assets and liabilities involved and how they will be divided.

Without clarity, legal issues may arise, and the matter may end up in the family court, leading to additional stress, costs, and delays.

Get in touch with our property settlement lawyers today to get the legal clarity you need.

What should I look for in a family lawyer?

 

When engaging a family lawyer, you will want to know if that lawyer has experience dealing with the specific issues that arise in your case.

Are the lawyers specialist family lawyers?

Your case may have disputes about a spousal maintenance claim, de facto relationships, child custody, or a property settlement that has an international component to it.

Some divorce lawyers have experience in these fields, whilst others may not have exposure to complex family law matters.

Ask an experienced lawyer about how they handle their cases when they are unable to settle a dispute at family dispute resolution.

How much does a family lawyer cost in Australia?

In Australia, the cost of family lawyers ranges based on the work that is done. Family lawyers charge between $350 – $750 per hour depending on their experience.

A simple family law matter could cost between $5,000 – $10,000.

The family law matter has to be simple and straightforward without any complications.

If the family law matter deals with a property settlement and child custody in the family law court, the legal process could cost $30,000 – $150,000.

Most of the time, the parties involved will not want to incur such costs and will resolve the matter after receiving quality legal advice from the divorce lawyers they engage.

How to get a divorce

Are you looking for a divorce lawyer near me?

How to get a divorce in Australia? You must show that the family law courts in Australia have jurisdiction to order a divorce.

To establish this, one of the following must apply to you:

  • You or your partner need to be an Australian citizen; or
  • You or your partner need to be ordinarily living in Australia for at least the past 12 months; or
  • You or your partner need to regard Australia as your home with the intention of living in Australia indefinitely.

Before you can get a divorce, you must be able to satisfy the court that you and your spouse have been separated for at least 12 months. There must be no reasonable likelihood that you and your spouse will get back together. You will need to provide a copy of your marriage certificate to the Family law Court. If you are married in another country and your marriage certificate is not in English, you will need to have it translated. If you fulfill these requirements, you are then eligible to apply for divorce.

You and your spouse do not have to make the divorce application together. You can make a sole application or a joint application. The divorce application comprises a form to fill out and then lodge with the court. The application should be lodged online via the Commonwealth Courts Portal. Depending on your own circumstances, you may need to file additional documents, such as affidavits, to support your divorce application.If you are making a sole application, you will need to notify your spouse that you have applied for divorce. This is called serving the application for divorce on your spouse. Court attendance may or may not be necessary for you to get a divorce.

The court may grant your divorce, dismiss your application or adjourn the case if they require further information.

When the court grants your divorce, it will become final one month and one day after the court makes the order.

To get in touch with the best divorce lawyer near me, contact our office today.

You may want to know, can I divorce without a lawyer? Yes, you can, but considering it could be the largest emotional and financial process of your life, you would probably be largely assisted by working with an experienced family lawyer.

How are assets divided

After a separation or divorce, couples can apply to the court for a property settlement if they cannot agree about how they want their assets divided. There is no set percentage or fixed rates as to how assets are divided in Australia. The family law court looks at a variety of factors to determine a result that is just and equitable for both parties. A property settlement is not automatic when a divorce is granted. A divorce order simply ends the marriage; financial orders for the division of assets are made separately. There is a time limit for when a couple can apply for financial orders.

 

Married couples can apply for a family law property settlement after separation until up to one year after the finalisation of their divorce. De facto couples can apply for a family law property settlement up until two years after their date of separation. It is difficult to predict the result of a family law property settlement, even by examining similar past cases, because the court looks at each case individually.

 

They will look at the value of current assets and liabilities as well as the contributions each party has made to the relationship since it began. These contributions are categorised as direct financial contributions such as income earning, indirect financial contributions such as inheritances, and non-financial contributions such as looking after children and household maintenance. Lastly, the family law court considers each party’s future needs based on their age, health and income-earning capacity. The property to be shared between the parties makes up a divisible asset pool. Based on their contributions and future needs, the court will determine the percentage of the property pool that each party will receive.

A family law consent order is a type of court order made when the parties involved have already come to an agreement outside of court and wish to make this agreement official. Consent orders do not involve court hearings. Instead of the family law court hearing the case and making their decision about what the orders should be, the parties draft their own orders and apply to the family law court to have these orders approved. If the family law court accepts and approves an application for consent orders, the orders become enforceable, like any other court order, and both parties must follow them as they have been set out.

 

Going against court orders is called contravention or breach of orders. Consent orders can be about custody of children, parenting arrangements and parental responsibility as well as financial matters such as family law property settlement and spousal maintenance. You can apply for different types of consent orders (parenting or financial) at the same time.

 

Your case may already be ongoing in court or it may not have ever been before a court. If you and the other party come to an agreement during the legal proceedings, you can make an application for consent orders to resolve the current family dispute. When both parties sign the consent orders, this shows the court that they have reached a consensus and are satisfied with the proposed orders.

 

Consent orders can also be used to change or to end existing family law family court orders. For example, if certain parenting orders are no longer practical because one party has moved to a new house, the parties can apply for consent orders to adapt their current parenting orders if they both agree on the change.

Julianne helped my partner with a criminal matter at the last minute, without any hesitation. Her clear advice was invaluable during a time when we felt lost and unsure of what to do. Even after the case was resolved, she took the time to check in on us, which meant so much. If you’re looking for a lawyer who not only gets the job done but also shows genuine care and empathy, I highly recommend Justice Family Lawyers.
