Alimony or Spousal Maintenance
Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs)

Divorce and Separation

The Family Court considers the following three elements when establishing separation or divorce:

Intention of one or both parties to separate
Exisiting communication
Whether there is domestic violence that caused the separation

In addition, the date of separation can be a crucial factor in several family law outcomes. This is because the date of separation can affect whether property and maintenance actions can be initiated. It can also affect your rights in a property settlement or spousal support dispute.

Knowing your rights will help you come to peace with your ex-spouse. Talk to the Family Lawyers Parramatta. We value our client’s time and financial means. Striving to develop an agreement suitable for both parties is our top priority, for this will ensure cost-effective and timely settlements for the family.

Property Settlement

Part VIII of the Family Law Act of 1975 allows the Court to impose financial orders regarding marriages (including null or void marriages).

Even if you are not yet divorced, you can seek the Court to issue orders for property settlement or spousal maintenance.

If a court has ruled that your marriage was, in fact, null or void from the start, you may still petition the Court for financial orders arising from that invalid marriage

Parenting Rights and Child Custody

An agreement regarding child custody typically accompanies parental separation.

Understanding the most typical child custody arrangement can help navigate the process of shared parenting rights.

At Family Lawyers Parramatta, we understand how crucial it is to simplify the complexities of family law to help you make the right decisions for your family.

Children of split parents often spend most of their time with one parent, with the other having between three and five overnight visits each fortnight. This is referred to as substantial and significant care.

Equal time is often the second most prevalent child custody arrangement, with both parents sharing equal care of a kid.

The number of nights spent with a child by each parent has no bearing on parental responsibility, which is the ability to make long-term decisions for a child.

Spousal Maintenance

Under Australia’s Family Law Act, spousal maintenance is a legal requirement.

If a spouse or de facto partner cannot fend for themselves, their ex-spouse can be obligated by the Court to support them financially.

Both partners are equally committed to assisting one another, and this obligation persists after separation and divorce.

The amount of spousal maintenance ordered by the Court relies on various criteria and is distinct from child support responsibilities.

ADVO and APVO

The primary distinction between an APVO and an ADVO is that an ADVO applies solely to those in a domestic relationship.

Both are court orders enacted to protect individuals from the risks of violence and upheld by a court of law.

If you have been charged with violating an AVO, you should consult with our exceptional team of AVO lawyers at Family Lawyers Parramatta for particular legal counsel.

The procedure for getting an AVO or ADVO differs from state to state. However, orders can be issued in any state or territory and registered for enforcement across state lines and international borders.

De Facto Breakup Entitlements

It is essential to understand that you and your partner may be entitled to a portion of the properties you invested in before and throughout your relationship.

Since the concept of a “de facto partnership” is dissimilar to that of a “marriage” or “married couple,” many individuals do not have a full grasp of their property rights.

If you take the matter to Court, you may be awarded a share of the pooled property.

The property pool consists of items under both your and your de facto partner’s names:

Superannuation
Deposit Accounts
Personal debts or loans
Business assets
shares and other financial assets
Personal possessions, including automobiles, yachts, jewellery, and furnishings
Other residential real estates
The residence

Can I Stop My Child from Relocating After Divorce?

Implementing parental orders or a parenting plan is the most effective method for preventing child relocation after divorce.

Typically, if there are currently court orders in place, there will also be a relocation order.

If this is the case, a parent who wishes to relocate significantly away must acquire court approval.

The Court may only grant permission if they are convinced that moving away from one parent is in the child’s best interests.

You may oppose the application to prevent the other parent from relocating and explain why a relocation order should not be issued to the Court.

If there are no parenting orders in place, call us at Family Lawyers Parramatta immediately so we can organise parenting orders that will defend your parenting rights.

Can You Still Exercise Your Parenting Rights When An AVO Is Filed Against You?

Having an AVO against you does not prohibit you from spending time with your children automatically.

However, an ADVO, once filed against you, protect not only the individual named on it but also everyone who dwells on the same property.

In addition to the protected individual, your children can also be included.

In this scenario, the offender may be prohibited from visiting their children regardless of any claims of violence against them.

When seeking interim or final parenting orders in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, having an AVO against you might limit the time you spend with your children and the frequency you can speak.

Are the allegations of violence against you unfounded? Talk to our expert AVO Family Lawyers Parramatta, to help you challenge the claims in Court. We value parents’ dedication to staying in touch with their children, and we always try to do our best to give our client’s the best possible result, so they can still be allowed to talk to their children.

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.
