When a marriage or de facto relationship comes to an end, it's rarely easy. Relationship breakdown affects every aspect of your life - your living arrangements, your finances, and most importantly, your children. During this difficult time, having experienced legal guidance can make all the difference.

In Australian family law, relationship breakdown refers to the permanent separation of married or de facto couples. This includes both married couples seeking divorce and de facto partners (including same-sex couples) who have separated after living together for at least two years, or in certain other circumstances.

The breakdown of a relationship triggers important legal considerations around property division, spousal maintenance, parenting arrangements, and child support. These matters can be complex, and the decisions you make now will impact your future for years to come.

Navigating family law without professional support can be overwhelming and costly. An experienced family lawyer provides:

Clear advice on your rights and obligations - We help you understand what you're entitled to under Australian law, and what your obligations are.

Strategic negotiation - Most family law matters are resolved outside court through negotiation or mediation. We work to achieve fair outcomes while minimising conflict and legal costs.

Protection of your interests - From safeguarding assets to ensuring appropriate parenting arrangements, we advocate for what matters most to you.

Court representation - When agreement isn't possible, we provide strong representation in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

Practical guidance - Beyond legal advice, we help you understand the process, timelines, and next steps, reducing stress during an uncertain time.

You don't have to face relationship breakdown alone. Early legal advice can prevent costly mistakes and help you move forward with confidence.
