With that, clients can engage with their lawyers. The opposing parties can then arrive at a mutual agreement on all family disputes.

How Long Does It Take To Contest A Will?

When a loved one dies, and you believe you have been wrongfully disinherited, you will want to know how long it takes to dispute a will.

There are various procedures involved in challenging a will. All of which must be completed within a time restriction in order for the case to be examined by a court.

Your claim to dispute a will must be filed within one year of the decedent’s date of death.

The time required to dispute a will relies on the attitudes of the parties and their willingness to compromise.

Typically, the procedure takes between three months and two years to complete. If the case is taken to court and heard by a judge, it will take around two years.

Not everyone can dispute a will, and interested parties must fulfill certain criteria in order to file a claim.

Contesting a will may be a difficult legal procedure. Different Australian states have different regulations.

If you feel you are entitled to file a claim, you should contact the experienced legal counsel of Family Lawyers Bondi immediately.

How Much Does a Divorce Cost?

In July 2021, the cost will increase from the current $930. You may be eligible for a reduced filing cost if you have certain government concession cards.

This includes a pensioner concession card or a Commonwealth seniors health card. You can also show financial difficulties.

The current filing fee reduction in June 2021 is $310 per document. The divorce filing fee can be paid online via the Commonwealth Courts Online or in court registries by EFTPOS, debit card, or credit card.

You may pay by mail with a Visa or Mastercard using the credit card payment form. Not only is a divorce petition subject to a filing fee, but so are several other types of paperwork.

There are costs for all forms of court petitions, including initial applications, consent orders, and temporary orders.

According to Family Court in Australia, divorce applications are not qualified for a fee waiver, except when:

you must be in possession of a concession card or
demonstrate financial stress.

Paying the filing cost for the divorce petition is unlikely to be the sole expense incurred while pursuing a divorce.

When you can’t reach an agreement over funds or parenting plans, you may need to petition the court for financial or parenting orders.

If you agree regarding finances and parenting, you may want to seek for consent orders to formalise these arrangements.

There is a filing cost for consent orders. If you seek lawyer advice concerning your divorce before filing for it, you will incur legal fees.

As a result, it is difficult to determine the cost of divorce since it varies on the particular circumstances and decisions of each individual.

Laila put in the effort to get to know me and my position, set out a strategy to achieve a result with the best outcome for me at the least legal costs possible, her determination and focus on this goal was the reason it was achieved. I never once felt I was not being kept up to date, i was always treated with respect in a courteous manner and Laila made sure I had a full understanding of all the correspondence between the two parties, she created a environment where I felt completely comfortable asking any questions I had or providing her with sensitive information to assist her understanding and to strengthen our case I can highly recommend JFL and in particular Laila, she is an excellent lawyer that acted with integrity and professionalism at all times, in my opinion she is a credit to her profession and I still don’t know how she managed to get the result she did, however if you are in need of a family law legal person to represent you, you couldn’t go past this firm, my only regret is that I didn’t engage JFL from day one of my separation, it would of saved a lot of frustration and time.
