25.01.2022 Every family is different, and theres no "one size fits all" when it comes to reaching an agreement in relation to parenting arrangements. Here are some of the key considerations you need to keep in mind when navigating separation and co parenting.

25.01.2022 Spousal maintenance (or "alimony" as it's known in the US) refers to the sharing of income after separation if one party earns significantly more than the other. In this video, our Amity Anderson discusses what you need to know about spousal maintenance and how you can determine whether it might be applicable to your unique set of circumstances.

25.01.2022 This week is National Child Protection Week. This initiative coordinated by Act for Kids aims to promote the value of children, focus attention on the issues of child abuse and neglect, and raise awareness and support of best practices for professionals operating in this field. Child safety and child protection is an incredibly complex and sensitive area of family law, and not one that every family lawyer practices in. In this video, our Lynn Armstrong highlights the key issues you need to be aware of if you or someone you know finds themselves navigating a child protection matter. #NationalChildProtectionWeek

We truly would be lost without these ladies and we're so grateful for everything they do for our teams and our clients on a daily basis. Thank you and congratulations, ladies!

17.01.2022 "I am not misguided in knowing that most people don’t wake up and high five the world at the thrill of seeing a lawyer ... They are often teary, stressed and sometimes barely holding themselves together. My moment of enjoyment is usually some months later, when they walk in, head high, ready to take on the world! They have regained some of what they may have lost during the early stages of separation, and hopefully are even happier or more contented than they were previously. These are the days I feel my job is important." A big congratulations to our Lynn Armstrong who celebrates her 15 year admission anniversary today!
