We have assisted families in the North Shore and greater Sydney area and throughout New South Wales, for more than fifteen years. We know how paramount it is to work with a family lawyer who is responsive to your needs and zealously advocates for your interests.
Our family law specialists can help you with your divorce. We also assist with joint divorce, in which the parties agree to seek an amicable end to their marriage.
No matter if your divorce is going to be simple or complex, our family law specialists can help you with your separation. Divorce can be a trying process and there are conditions that must be met in order to be eligible to apply for divorce. Depending on your circumstances, you can either solely or jointly seek an end to your marriage.
Our child custody lawyers care for and defend your parental rights to raise and support your children in a loving and proper home and seek to find the arrangement that meets the best interests of your family in custody and visitation decisions.
When a Court decides any parenting matter, they approach it by first determining the best interests of the child. For instance, the Court will protect the child from any potential harm and may place it above the need for the child to have a meaningful relationship with both parents. That is just one example of what the Court may consider as there are numerous other possible factors that contribute to the best interests of the child. Our child custody lawyers can be with you every step of the way to allow for the best possible outcome for you and your kin.
Chatswood Family Lawyers assists in ensuring you are given or are paying a reasonable amount of financial support required to raise and parent your children in a quality environment. Support payments cannot be changed unless the Court accepts and modifies the child support order. If either the custodial parent and/or noncustodial parent has a change in financial status, our family law specialists can assist you through the proper and legal action that will need to be taken to revise the order for your support payments for your children appropriately.
Divorce should not lead to financial instability.
Spousal maintenance is where one partner agrees or is ordered to provide ongoing financial support for the other partner after the breakdown of their relationship. This entitlement is on top of any child support benefits which may also be payable.
At Chatswood Family Lawyers we help you establish and be paid (or pay) a fair amount of spousal maintenance.
