25.01.2022 Family courts need urgent funding injection says Law Council 1 February 2020 New figures from the Productivity Commission show delays across the family law system are reaching alarming levels, according to the Law Council of Australia.... Statistics in the Report on Government Services released this week reveal the backlog of family law cases between 2012-13 and 2018-19: In the Family Court has grown by 34 per cent; and In the Federal Circuit Court has grown by 63 per cent. Law Council of Australia President Pauline Wright said a real concern was the increase in the number of cases more than a year-old waiting to be heard. Justice delayed is justice denied, particularly when some of these cases involve some of the most vulnerable in our community and allegations of domestic violence. An urgent injection of funds into the family law system is required, Ms Wright said. At AS Family Lawyers, we are constantly assessing the merits of our client's matters such that they are not drawn into the court system unnecessarily. We explore other alternative dispute resolution avenues such that our clients are not wasting time and money in protracted litigation. Please call us on 1300 171 261 if you have a matter which you wish to discuss with us.

24.01.2022 What a great way to see in the new year. Elizabeth has been made an Associate of the firm. Well done, Elizabeth!

24.01.2022 This week Elizabeth finalised a parenting matter which saw our client, Alice, granted sole parental responsibility and live-with orders for her daughter, Billie. This was Alice's message of thanks... Hey Albert, Wow, I can't even explain how happy I am thank you soooooo much I appreciate everything you and Elizabeth have done. This is the best outcome I could have hoped for.... Thank you. I'm still shocked. AT March 2020

22.01.2022 Despite all that is happening in the world, we are still fighting hard for our clients. Some matters are aided by the turmoil, but, unfortunately, some are disadvantaged. One of the lucky ones is Cathy who had a great outcome in court yesterday. Dear Albert and Elizabeth, I would like to say a big THANK YOU for helping me fight thru this journey.... Thank you so very much for everything! It was an unbelievable miracle day for me and River today. My tears and joy all came together at once! CA March 2020

22.01.2022 AS Family Lawyers wishes all the lovely mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day.

21.01.2022 In these difficult times, we hope you, your families and friends, are all safe. We wish everyone a Happy Easter. Be well.

20.01.2022 Warren saw his kids this weekend for the first time in over a year. "Mate just finished visits. Very emotional but honestly couldn't have gone better. Very happy father and children. They loved their presents. Honestly it was amazing. Thanks for your help in making it happen." If you haven't seen your children in a long time, then call AS Family Lawyers now on 1300 171 261 for a confidential discussion.

20.01.2022 Wishing all the dads out there a happy Father's Day!

20.01.2022 "Yes, Albert, the children are with me now - eating chicken nuggets. They say, "Thank you for having Daddy's back". Thank you. I appreciate your efforts."... This week saw the finalisation of Stephan's matter where he now has orders for equal shared parental responsibility and 43% care of the children. When Stephan came to us for help, he was dejected and frustrated with the whole system - he felt that the Mother's risks were being overlooked and the allegations against him were amplified. As the matter progressed, Albert was able to help guide Stephan through the process, such that he was able to focus on the crucial elements in his case. This assistance had a significant effect and the tide started to turn such that the welfare authorities finally took positive action against the Mother. If you are a father who is struggling with the family law court system, then please call us on 1300 171 261 to dicsuss your matter.

10.01.2022 Congratulations to Elizabeth! After a tough 3 day final hearing, Elizabeth took judgment in the matter today. Elizabeth was able to successfully gain orders for the children to live with her client. Well done!!... If you have a family law matter which you would like to discuss with Elizabeth, then please do not hesitate in calling 1300 171 261 for a confidential chat.

07.01.2022 This week our Principal Lawyer, Albert, represented a client in court seeking ex-parte orders to protect her child. Penny had concerns her ex had relapsed into ICE drug abuse when her son, Toby, had returned from a recent visit with an injury to his face. Penny had also heard from acquaintances that her ex had returned to abusing drugs. On Albert's advice, Penny tried initially to resolve the issue directly with her ex. When this proved fruitless, Albert filed an application ...into court seeking the suspension of the existing orders and the restraint on the ex from coming into contact with Toby. When the matter was before court, the judge made all the orders Penny sought and also ordered the ex to undergo drug testing. With Albert’s argument, the judge was adequately satisfied that those orders be made on an ex-parte basis. If you have a child at risk, then please call AS Family Lawyers on 1300 171 261 to discuss your matter.

06.01.2022 In Elizabeth’s matter this week, she represented Fiona, whose ex-partner had withheld the children for over a month. The Father alleged that Fiona had put the children at risk. Due to the Father’s history of violence towards Fiona and the children, Elizabeth persuaded the Court that it would be in the children’s best interest to be returned to Fiona. Elizabeth also submitted that any perceived risks to the children could be mitigated by particular injunctions. Furthermore, th...e Court ordered a hair follicle test due to the Father’s history of drug abuse and time arrangements would commence for the Father to spend time with the children on the basis that his results show a negative result. Ultimately, the Court granted the order for recovery and the children were successfully returned to Fiona. If you have an urgent recovery issue, then please call us on 1300 171 261 to discuss your matter today.

06.01.2022 In the run-up to Christmas, AS Family Lawyers remains as busy as ever. This week, Elizabeth, was in a 4 day final hearing. Albert was in court in a number of matters - one where he managed to have the matter transferred to Melbourne to suit the Mother with a very young child, and another, where he was successful in recovering a child to the Mother's care. Please do not hesitate in contacting us on 1300 171 261 if you have a family law matter which you wish to discuss.

05.01.2022 COVID-19 has presented challenges for separated parents and children. This has been especially so for children and parents who need to travel interstate to spend time with each other. Closed borders, quarantining rules and social distancing rules have created confusion and difficulties for many families. A specialised list for urgent family law matters has been established in the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court of Australia to deal with such situation...s. AS Family Lawyers recently assisted Millie to recover her daughter, Daisy, who had been retained in Queensland by her Paternal Aunty. Our lawyer, Elizabeth, was able to have Millie’s case considered in the specialised COVID-19 list which fast-tracked a successful outcome. Daisy is now safe and happy in back in Millie’s care. If you have an similar matter and wish to discuss it with us, then please call our office on 1300 171 261.

03.01.2022 Over a year ago, Rodney sought help from us as he had not been able to spend time with his children for several years. Over the weekend, Rodney had his first scheduled visit to spend supervised time with the children. He was told prior to the visit that the children did not want to see him and were extremely resistant. The children only wanted to ask him some questions and then would likely end the visit with him. Once the visit started, naturally the children did have ques...tions. Rodney was able to approach this interaction in a child-focussed manner and the children’s initial confusion and resistance disappeared. The children and Rodney were able to start their relationship anew with a greater understanding. The children then proceeded to have an extremely positive visit with Rodney, ending with lots of cuddles and excitement about the next time they would spend time with their father. Elizabeth has fought hard for Rodney, and this has been a great outcome for him. If you have a similar family law matter which you would like to discuss with Elizabeth, then please call her on 1300 171 261.

02.01.2022 A good win today for AS Family Lawyers, helping a client recover her children from Queensland. John had taken the 2 girls, Katie and Rebecca, to Queensland. John did have primary care of the children, but his unilateral actions in relocating interstate, meant Linda could not maintain a proper relationship with the children. Linda sought our advice and today we managed to achieve court orders for the children to return to Sydney.... If you have a similar situation that you wish to discuss and get legal advice on, then please contact us on 1300 171 261.

02.01.2022 Brayden is spending time with his children this weekend, for the first time in 6 months. Brayden and Stephanie split last year. There was a period when Brayden continued to see his children, but that stopped shortly before Christmas last year. At the beginning of this year, Brayden attempted mediation with Stephanie, but it was not successful.... Brayden was at a loss as to what to do. He struggled with the issue of court proceedings versus the cost involved. When Brayden approached AS Family Lawyers, we recognised a parent in need of help and were happy to enter into a payment plan with Brayden, such that he could commence court proceedings immediately and not lose any more time. Thankfully for Brayden, in addition to commencing court proceedings, AS Family Lawyers were able to persuade Stephanie to engage in a 2nd mediation which enabled the parties to resolve their immediate concerns without the need for a litigated interim hearing in court, saving Brayden thousands of dollars. If you have a matter similar to Brayden's and would like to have a confidential discussion about costs and payment plans, then please call AS Family Lawyers on 1300 171 261.
