25.01.2022 November ends with a little mention in the Gold Coast list of the 2019 Doyle's Guide to the Australian Legal Profession

23.01.2022 Been handed a pre-nup that gets your heart racing, for all the wrong reasons? Take a deep breath, there's plenty you can do before it comes time to sign. Financial Agreements will rarely work unless there is something in it for both parties. Use these tips to re-balance the Agreement, and make it something you are happy to live by, happily ever after.

21.01.2022 When we are confronted by an overwhelming problem, sometimes the best way forward is to take a step back - in my experience, that is certainly true of managing separation and divorce. Circling the wagons and giving yourself some time away from the problem can help - time to re-charge the old batteries can mean that you come back to the issue with gusto. So, be sure to book a vacation from your divorce.

19.01.2022 Why can’t you just make a decision! Some of us can make decisions on breathtaking subjects in an instant, and never look back. But for many of us, anguishing over a decision a new wall colour, a replacement oven, where to make a dinner reservation is just who we are. So what if the stakes are higher much higher - and the decision is about the resolution of your separation? To make a decision on such a life-changing subject can cause you to freeze up. In this blog, I set out 5 tips to overcome decision making paralysis, and help you conquer the task of deciding ‘what to do’.

19.01.2022 In busy periods in our lives, it can feel like we're not achieving much, and in fact, going backwards - a few busy weeks at work, and life begins to unravel - suddenly the laundry is piled up, the groceries are not done, and you wonder how you're going to catch up. It's the same with your divorce - things can pile up, and the 'to do' list can get to the point where you wonder how you will get through it. Follow these tips to break what seems like an insurmountable problem, into smaller ones, and return order to your separation.

19.01.2022 Got a family law problem? Feel like you've done everything you can to resolve it? Feel like it's still no closer to resolution? You're not alone. But take heart - your problem has a solution, it's just that you might need to get to the bottom of what has caused it to stall. Follow these tips to get better traction, and ultimately, get to 'yes'.

16.01.2022 Negotiating a Financial Agreement (pre-nup) can be challenging, but often it must be done because there is a lot at stake - the future of a business, or the protection of inherited assets. In this blog I set out tips to help find the 'sweet spot' between what you want the Financial Agreement to achieve (protection of pre-relationship wealth), and the reassurance your partner will want to 'sign off', without putting your relationship in a precarious position.

15.01.2022 It is often heard by family lawyers that one of the motivations for a spouse going to trial is to have their former spouse’s behaviour exposed - to see them mercilessly taken to task by a Judge about their part in, and actions surrounding, a relationship breakdown. But what if you knew in advance that this ‘shaming’, which you have played out in your mind, will probably never occur? Would you then approach your decision making differently? In family law, revenge is not a dish best eaten cold, but rather, not at all.

14.01.2022 Just the order - relationship advice from a divorce lawyer.... This week I have been forced by a few of my clients to think about Valentine's Day, and what it means for different people, and different relationships. If 'Nature Boy' tells us that the greatest thing we'll ever learn is 'just to love, and be loved in return', maybe Valentine's Day, despite being a 'retail-driven' creation, is a good opportunity to let our significant others know, publicly, that they are loved in return...

12.01.2022 Reading the law can be pretty dull at times, but every now and then you see something which gives you a wry smile. Some legal writers really capture the 'real life' behind the application of the law (here, talking about 'Chinese walls', the insulation of a client's file within part of a law firm when a conflict of interest might arise). This passage certainly made me chuckle...

10.01.2022 Top spot from which to work this morning...

09.01.2022 I had this coming after publicly admitting I am a 'disbeliever' in Valentine's Day....
