25.01.2022 What a great initiative!

23.01.2022 The Law Council of Australia has put together some information that we thought might be helpful for separated families at this time. THE TOP TEN GUIDE FOR SEPARATED PARENTS DURING COVID19. 10. BE PATIENT AND POSITIVE... This situation is not going to resolve overnight. Changes to the way we work, socialise, communicate and parent will come in the next few weeks and months. Make a conscious effort to embrace the good and joyful moments in each day, stay connected by phone or social media to friends or family who can support you and remember that you are the beacon for your children at this time. If you would like to know more about the services our Family Law Team provide, you are welcome to visit our website @ www.brieselawyers.com.au or telephone our Client Services Team on 07 46384833

21.01.2022 LETS TACKLE THE LEGAL ISSUES.... Thinking of separating or your relationship has ended - NOW WHAT? You may have never done this before so of course you will have many questions running through your mind, the most prominent being "Where to start?"... Parties separate when at least one of the spouses forms the intention to end the relationship and then acts upon it, usually when one party moves out of the matrimonial home, but not necessarily so. It is possible to be separated whilst both parties reside under the one roof. In some circumstances, the court will recognise a couple as having separated even though they are still living in the same household - usually as a result of financial constraints. Generally you will need to provide evidence of separation, including confirmation of: Sleeping in separate bedrooms; Lack of a sexual relationship; No longer socialising as a couple; and No longer providing domestic assistance to each other. If you have found yourself in this situation and you would like further information we invite you to download our FREE Ebook "A Guide to Successfully Separating or Your Relationship has ended - Now What?" from our website https://www.brieselawyers.com.au/family-law.html or we invite you to contact our friendly team by telephone 07 4638 4833

18.01.2022 Fear and uncertainty about the journey ahead when separating can be overwhelming and debilitating. Knowledge is power and finding out where you stand and what your options are is empowering and can alleviate unnecessary worry and concern. The general information in our FREE ebook "THINKING OF SEPARATING OR YOUR REALTIONSHIP HAS ENDED - NOW WHAT?" will hopefully be a good start for anyone separating, but it is important to seek professional advice that will allow you to appl...y the general legal principles to your particular circumstances. Consulting a lawyer does not commit you in any way to being drawn in to a legal battle. On the contrary, a good lawyer will encourage you to avoid the Court system and find "better" ways to resolve your issues while still providing you with a legal and binding outcome that will protect your interests and provide you with certainty moving forward. At Briese Lawyers we offer a fixed fee, first consultation. If you cannot afford private legal representation you should consider Legal Aid; Community Legal Services; Womens Legal Service hotline; Mens Legal Service etc. Try to avoid taking advice from the well meaning "bush lawyers" in your mums group; your mates at the pub or even worse, chat groups on social media. If you would like to read our FREE Ebook it is available for download from our website https://www.brieselawyers.com.au/family-law.html

16.01.2022 Often families need a little extra support when a separation occurs. Our friends at the University of Queensland, The Every Family Team have put together this useful list of Organisations that can assist with free parenting support.

14.01.2022 In life, you make your own choices about your children and finances every day and control you own behaviour, so why not choose a pathway of separation that preserves your dignity and respect and allows you to control the outcome? Our Family Law Team have created this e-book "Thinking of Separating or Your Relationship has ended - Now What? - to arm you with as much information as possible in order to assist you through what may well be one of the most difficult times of your ...life.

08.01.2022 LEGAL ADVICE - FAMILY LAW One of the first steps that you should take, (even prior to separation), is to seek legal advice. Even if there is an agreement between you and your spouse, a solicitor will be able to advise you of the best way to implement that agreement in a way that is binding and enforceable and will often remind you of things you may have forgotten about eg. superannuation, gifts, insurance policies, benefits under Wills etc. In every case where there is an agr...eement concerning either children or a division of property, you should have the agreement formalised. This is likely to overcome possible disputes in the future and protect your position. Unless the agreement that you have reached with your spouse is formalised, the agreement will not be binding in the future and may result in your spouse making a further claim on your property, or reneging on parenting arrangements. Formalised agreements or Consent Orders are also the only way to effect a split of superannuation entitlements and will also allow parties to access tax and duty concessions on the transfer of assets.

01.01.2022 MEET OUR FAMILY LAW TEAM Abby Johnson, Solicitor. Abby commenced studying a Bachelor of Laws in 2009 whilst working part-time in a local law firm in the areas of Property, Litigation, Estate Planning, Family Law and Commercial Law.... Abby completed her Bachelor of Laws at the University of Southern Queensland in 2012. In 2013, she completed her Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice at the College of Law in Brisbane. Following the completion of her legal studies she was admitted as a Solicitor in the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory and registered on the High Court of Australia Register of Practitioners. Following her brief hiatus to Canberra, she returned home to Toowoomba to start a family. She is now a proud mum of three young boys. She is passionate about family and therefore passionate about family law.
