19.01.2022 Another one of our people, and a good one at that:

17.01.2022 Check this bloke out! Our Brandon Wood. Admitted as a solicitor earlier today after nearly 6 years of university and practical legal training. Intelligent and diligent, with a robust appetite for providing top quality service. Currently savouring the moment (loving the Friday admission), and destined for great things in the future.

13.01.2022 STARTING ‘CHILD CUSTODY’ PROCEEDINGS - FAQ’s WHICH COURT? Typically the Federal Circuit Court of Australia nearest to where the child lives. This is not mandatory however. Proceedings can be filed in local Courts (e.g. Magistrates Court), and in the Family Court (for complex matters).... COSTS? Depends on whether you are self-represented, the complexity of the litigation, how long proceedings run for etc. Remember too that solicitor’s fees aren’t the only fees you may encounter; parties may also need to pay Court filing and hearing fees, Bailiff service fees, Independent Children’s Lawyer fees and report expenses. HOW TO START? By filing an Initiating Application outlining the Orders sought, and supporting Affidavit evidence. An Affidavit is a sworn or affirmed written statement setting out a person’s version of relevant events. In most matters, the Initiating Application and initial Affidavits will be the most important documents filed in the proceedings as they set the tone for the rest of the litigation. HOW DO PROCEEDINGS PROGRESS? In simple terms, things usually go like this: parties’ material filed Court sets the initial hearing date at initial date, Court makes interim Orders (temporary Orders which remain in place until further Orders) the Court may make more interim Orders (e.g. for mediation, for expert reports, for updated parenting arrangements); Court sets final hearing date parties file material for final hearing final hearing + final Orders made HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? Initial Court date - If not deemed ‘urgent’, 6-12 weeks from the date of filing final Order - 18 months +

07.01.2022 Under the Family Law Act some veterans’ invalidity pensions are ‘superannuation interests’ susceptible to claim from an ex-partner. Our Kyle Barram answers why that is the case, and examines some of the case law concerning invalidity pensions. http://www.gunlawyers.com.au/splitting-military-invalidity/

05.01.2022 The powers that be at Gun Lawyers insisted our Facebook pages require humanisation. Voila:

05.01.2022 Kyle Barram in his tablecloth shirt posing with his gift from an appreciative father who, after 17 months of litigation culminating in a 1 day final hearing in February 2018, recently received a Parenting Order providing for week-about. The card reads "Kyle, Thank you for all your efforts during our case! We could not have done it without you!" To this particular client, thank YOU; your ongoing custom was more than enough, but to see a smile on your face after such a tough pe...riod has made our day. And thank you to all our former and current clients. Without the support you provide us through your business, we couldn't continue helping people navigate through what are usually the most difficult periods of their lives.
