Our team offers a full range of family law services to support clients through every stage of a relationship, from prenuptial agreements to post-separation parenting arrangements. As your family lawyer on the Gold Coast, we provide legal advice and representation across the following areas:
Ending a marriage or de facto relationship can be overwhelming. We’ll guide you through the process of legal separation, including:
- Divorce applications
- Spousal maintenance
- Time limits and eligibility
- Negotiation and mediation
You don’t have to go through it alone. Our family law team will help make sure that your rights are protected while striving for a fair and respectful outcome.
The best interests of your children are at the heart of every parenting matter. We can assist you in developing practical parenting plans or obtaining parenting orders through the Family Court, including:
- Living arrangements
- Schooling and medical decisions
- Travel and relocation
- Communication and contact schedules
We always encourage cooperation and mediation where possible, but will advocate strongly for your parental rights when court action is necessary.
Dividing assets and liabilities after a separation can be complex. Our lawyers help identify, value and fairly divide property, including:
- The family home and investment properties
- Superannuation
- Business interests
- Debts and liabilities
We aim to resolve property disputes efficiently through negotiation and consent orders, minimising emotional and financial strain wherever possible.
If you or someone you love is experiencing domestic or family violence, we can help.
- Urgent Protection Orders (DVOs)
- Safety planning and legal support
- Referrals to Gold Coast-based support services
Our team can act quickly to obtain protection orders (DVOs) and provide referrals to relevant support services. Your safety and wellbeing are our top priorities.
Sometimes called prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, these legal documents set out how property and finances will be handled if a relationship ends.
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
- Property and financial arrangements in case of separation
- Legal drafting, review and advice
They can provide clarity and peace of mind for both parties. We can draft, review or challenge these agreements depending on your needs.
Many
family law matters can be finalised without going to court, but when litigation is necessary, we provide strong and strategic legal representation.
- Negotiated agreements to avoid court
- Practical, family-focused outcomes
- Referrals to trusted local mediators
We’ll keep you informed every step of the way and work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is mediation in family law, and how does it work?
Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party (the mediator) helps separated or divorcing parties discuss and resolve family-related issues, such as child custody and property division. It provides a less adversarial alternative to court, allowing both parties to negotiate and reach agreements in a supportive environment. Mediation sessions focus on open communication and finding common ground, and agreements made in mediation can be formalised in legally binding documents. Family lawyers often support clients in mediation by preparing relevant documents and providing advice on protecting their rights.
What factors does the court consider in child custody cases?
In child custody cases, Australian courts prioritise the best interests of the child, focusing on factors like the child’s relationship with each parent, each parent’s ability to care for the child, and the child’s wishes (depending on age). Courts also consider any history of family violence, the child’s overall safety, and the ability to provide a stable environment. The goal is to create an arrangement that supports the child’s well-being and maintains their relationships with both parents when safe and appropriate. A family lawyer can help you understand how these factors may apply to your case.
How are property settlements handled after a separation?
Property settlements after separation involve dividing assets and liabilities, considering each party’s contributions (financial and non-financial) and future needs. Settlements can be reached through mutual agreement, mediation, or, if necessary, court intervention. The Family Court assesses property division based on principles of fairness, aiming for an outcome that reflects both parties’ interests and circumstances. A family lawyer can help prepare a property settlement agreement, negotiate terms, and, if required, represent clients in court. This guidance means the process is managed fairly and aligns with legal standards.
