Family Law
Family law encompasses a wide range of legal matters centred on family relationships, and the rights and responsibilities of family members.
Family law in Australia is primarily governed by the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth).
A frequent misconception about family law is that it is primarily Divorce proceedings. However this diverse and extensive area of law has a far broader scope and extends to all aspects relating to family life, prior, during and following relationship.
These range from financial settlements prior to marriage, advice on navigating and addressing domestic violence and abuse, parenting and financial arrangements following separation, adoption and surrogacy, marriage annulments and much more.
"Family law is often misunderstood as being limited to divorce proceedings. In reality, it is a broad and complex area of law that encompasses all aspects of family life."
