What’s Included in Our Legal Family Services in Campsie, Sydney
Our team of lawyers has expertise across a wide spectrum of family law issues, including:
Parenting agreements and disputes
Parenting agreements outline how separated or divorced parents will share responsibilities for their children. Such an agreement will include how custody arrangements will work, the drawing up of a visitation schedule, and modes of communication between the parents. In case of acrimonious divorces, our lawyers can help mediate between you and your ex-partner or represent you in court to reach a mutually agreeable Parenting Order that protects your child’s best interests.
Separation and divorce proceedings
When a relationship ends, legal steps are required to formalise the separation or divorce in a court of law. Approach our legal family services to prepare and file divorce petitions. We will guide clients through the legal and financial aspects of ending a marriage or de facto relationship with utmost care and sensitivity.
Property settlement
A property settlement happens after a separation or divorce when the property, assets, and debts need to be divided between the partners. Our family law services will help you to identify all shared and individual assets, assess the financial and non-financial contributions of each partner, and proceed to negotiate a fair division of assets.
Child custody and child support
If a marriage or de facto relationship has produced children, once a partner files for divorce or separation, the focus shifts to how to make the change smooth for children and which partner gets to make the important life decisions. You can approach us for family law legal advice about how to go about your life with sole or shared custody arrangements. We can provide legal advice for families struggling to determine parental responsibilities and do what is best for the child, in terms of deciding on child support payments and visitation schedules.
Mediation
Mediation is a dispute resolution process that is designed to help couples reach agreements without going to court. Usually, a neutral mediator guides both parties through discussions, and our family law legal advice service can represent you in the negotiation process.
Prenuptial agreements, like drafting a Binding Financial Agreement
Since the year 2000, parties who are getting married can enter into what are called “Binding Financial Agreements”. These are most commonly known as pre-nuptial agreements. Not only can they be entered into in contemplation of a marriage, but during a marriage, after separation, but before divorce, and after divorce. These agreements are now available to even de facto couples. They are becoming more and more popular as people are coming to the realisation that they need to protect their financial future. We have extensive experience in drafting such agreements.

Frequently asked questions
Courts ensure the fair division of property settlements by evaluating financial and non-financial contributions of both partners during the marriage or duration of the de facto relationship under New South Wales law.
In New South Wales, Australia, child custody rights after separation are governed by the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), which applies across Australia. The law focuses on the best interests of the child, not on parental entitlement. After separation, both parents usually retain equal shared parental responsibility, meaning both continue to have a say in major decisions about the child — such as education, health care, and religion. Parents can decide on how to parent through a Parenting Plan or a Consent Order. If they can’t agree, they must attempt Family Dispute Resolution (mediation) before going to the Family Court, which can issue Parenting Orders. The courts will focus on making arrangements in the child’s best interests, not yours.
Typically, the divorce process takes a few months after filing, following 12 months of separation. Hire lawyers from Legal and Company Solicitors in Campsie through our legal family services to represent you in the divorce and property settlement.
