Our Family law Services
At Kirby Law, our team of experienced legal professionals offers extensive expertise in all areas of family law. We recognize the complexities and emotional challenges involved in family legal matters and strive to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Our practice is built on a foundation of profound knowledge, a steadfast commitment to excellence, and genuine compassion. From your first consultation to the final resolution of your case, we are dedicated to providing unwavering support and guidance every step of the way.
Property Settlement
Property settlement is a critical aspect of divorce and separation, determining how assets and liabilities are divided between partners. Under the Family Law Act 1975, a fair distribution is based on various factors, including the length of the relationship, financial contributions, and future needs. Our expert legal team is dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of property settlement, ensuring your rights are protected and interests are maximised to achieve a just outcome.
Children and parenting arrangements
At Kirby Law, we understand that child and parenting arrangements can be emotionally challenging and difficult. Under Australian law, the primary focus is on the best interests of the child, guiding decisions about which parent the children live with and arrangements, and the time that the children spend with the other parent. Our dedicated legal team is committed to helping you achieve fair and child focused sustainable outcomes, whether through negotiation or court proceedings.
Child Support Agreement
We prepare child support agreements that provide both parents with clarity, certainty, and control over financial arrangements for their children. Unlike the standard child support assessment through the government, a private agreement allows parents to tailor the amount, frequency, and method of payment to suit their unique circumstances.
Financial Agreements
At Kirby Law, we work with you to draft comprehensive and enforceable agreements that reflect your wishes and ensure that you are protected. With our years of experience in family law and litigation, we give you the certainty that your financial interests will be safeguarded, now and in the future. Whether it's ensuring fairness at the start or providing a fair resolution at the end, we offer clear, strategic advice to meet your needs.
Alternate Dispute Resolution
Our experienced team at Kirby Law is skilled at fostering concessions and compromise during mediation. We understand the art of negotiation and work strategically to move both parties towards agreement. Mediation helps avoid the adversarial nature of litigation, allowing both parties to walk away with their financial and emotional interests better protected. By choosing mediation with Kirby Law, you benefit from our proven success in negotiating favourable outcomes and ensuring that more of your resources remain in your hands—rather than spent on costly litigation.
