Divorce matters
If you need to know where you stand legally before or after a divorce or de facto
separation, we will be happy to advise you.
Divorce can bring with it many questions such as how to divide the family assets, how to deal with debts of the relationship, who will have custody of the children, visiting rights and spousal maintenance, what will happen to the family home and many more issues.
Getting these questions settled may take some time, but you need to know all the legal ramifications so you can make the right decisions.
We will advise and guide you in these divorce law matters.
Violence restraining orders
If the court grants an interim violence restraining order it comes into effect as soon
as it is served on the respondent by the police.
If the respondent objects to it a final hearing where the evidence of both of you will be given before a Magistrate. If the Magistrate grants a final order the Violence Restraining Order will usually be in effect for 2 years. If the respondent does not comply with the terms he or she may face a gaol term.
If you have been named as the respondent in a VRO and you lodge an objection to a final order being made we will advise you on how to comply with the VRO and will represent you at the final hearing. The terms of a VRO can be very detrimental to a respondent as they often include being prevented from returning to the family home. Sometimes we can negotiate with the applicant and settle the matter by an agreement made by undertaking which will avoid both of you giving evidence at a final hearing. We will advise you on how to avoid a breach of VRO and if you have already been charged with breaching your VRO we will represent you at your court hearing.
