24.01.2022 Why its never too soon to do a property settlement after you separate! At our recent free Family Law information session, I covered the issue of property settlement and why you should seek legal advice early and formally resolve financial settlement as soon as possible. Firstly, having been separated myself, I get it! The first few months at least are about dealing with the practical issues, emotions, wondering if you might get back together, learning to parent solo and jus...t keeping it together. But let me tell you about a case I had a few years ago. Peter who was about 50 years old came to me after his ex-wife initiated proceedings against him for property settlement 10 YEARS AFTER the marriage ended. When I asked him why he didnt sort out a settlement years ago he said, I thought shed come back. Theres no doubt Peter was an eccentric bloke, who clearly loved his ex-wife and put his heart ahead of common sense. Whether he actually believed she was coming back, or simply thought she would never make a claim and it would all go away, the fact remains he made a huge mistake! His ex-wife re partnered up and lawyered up, yes that right 10 YEARS later and initiated proceedings to get her slice of the matrimonial property pool. I represented Peter and his matter did settle without going to a trial within a reasonable time. But lets take a look at what he lost. His humble little workers cottage close to the city had appreciated by a massive amount in that time, he had no real money in the bank and had to sell a favorite classic car to fund his legal fees, he spent $12,000 in legal costs and ended up having to sell his home to pay out his ex-wife. The lesson in this story is simple. Dont be like Peter! Over time assets particularly property and superannuation appreciate, the longer you leave it the greater the property pool you have to split and essentially the more you lose over the long run. Some people dont think they need a property settlement if they dont own property together WRONG. Superannuation, particularly if you have been working for a long time and have a healthy balance is an asset that requires formal division. If you have been separated, are clear you are not reconciling with your ex-partner, do yourself a massive favor and book in to see me for an initial consultation for up to 3 hours for $400. Hands down I can guarantee you its the best money you will spend to protect your interests in the long run. Authored by Jill and Andrew Lander Copyright Lander Solicitors Queensland

24.01.2022 A little weekend humour.

23.01.2022 Our Principal Andrew Lander in Court this week for a very interesting 3 day trial. Lander Solicitors Queensland represent both Legal Aid funded cases and private work. We pride ourselves on our level of representation and compassion to all our clients.

22.01.2022 Helped a friend buy this original copy of Fleetwood Mac’s self titled album for an absolute bargain from Dutch Vinyl today. Very magnanimous of me because I wanted to get it #nowspinning

21.01.2022 Real change is required.

21.01.2022 What a great turnout for our first free Family Law Information Session. The feedback has been great and we will definitely be hosting another one in the coming months!

21.01.2022 We are pleased to be back home working after a great family holiday to the Northern Territory for the first time. The phone has been running hot with new enquiries since we’ve been back. If you have a Family Law matter and need advice, take advantage of our 3 hour $400 initial consultation and call Andrew our Principal Solicitor on 0432 375 294 or 073356 4249.

21.01.2022 Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed by a partner or family member. Global leaders must act now.

21.01.2022 Covid -19 and its impact on Family Law Court hearings New government restrictions have resulted in significant changes in the way in which hearings are being conducted by the Family Court and the Federal Circuit Court. These changes have been put into effect to protect the health and safety of the community, profession and court staff, whilst continuing to provide this essential service. What is the new process?... The Courts Registry Service have advised that remote service by phone and through online services is now in place. Most court hearings will happen by phone and where possible by video link. The Court has issued Practice Directions to the legal profession to streamline the Court process and to limit physical appearances at the courtroom. The Court is encouraging the use of the Commonwealth Court Portal to file documents electronically. Legal representatives are assigned dial in details and are able to make submissions to the presiding Judge by phone. The Court can also invite clients and unrepresented parties to dial in to these hearings. What about Contested Hearings? The Courts have suggested that they will arrange a telephone listing for those matters that are being contested in the next two months. New procedures for high priority contested hearings includes limiting the amount of face-to-face time in Court to one and half hours and possibly conducting part of the hearing by phone. Other matters of lower priority are likely to be sent to Mediation or another type of alternate dispute resolution event, with the Trial Date to be adjourned to another date to be advised. Other matters may require the court to deal with the matter in a different manner including adjourning the matter and: - - requiring the parties to participate in a family report interview or child inclusive conference; - requiring the parties to adhere to temporary orders and provide updated affidavit material. We recommend seeking independent legal advice. CALL 0432 375 294 to book an appointment with Andrew Lander. We are happy to discuss how me might be able to assist you in your family law matter.

19.01.2022 The mental health issues related to lockdown and this pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. The wonderful charity MIND have a 24 hour helpline: 03001233393 or 1300 554 660. This information was kindly shared by a friend of ours.

17.01.2022 A post by our good friend and great Mediator Farley Tolpen

16.01.2022 Reading this article during what is the Domestic and Family Violence Awarness month in Australia honestly is sickening. Counting Dead Women is not okay. An Inquiry without public hearings or submissions is not okay. More needs to be done especially as we know that during the Covid19 Pandemic more victims are suffering #notnow #notever #deedsnotwords

15.01.2022 Not long now until Christmas 2020 and the end of the most difficult year for many people around the world. Our office is now closed until January 4 2021. A year that we hope brings a COVID19 vaccine and economic recovery. Merry Christmas from our family to yours, we thank our clients, family and friends and look forward to working with you next year. Andrew, Jill and Harry and Fil

15.01.2022 With constant technological advancements in our day-to-day lives, we need to ensure we stay up to date with the law around what we can and cant do online. Here is a post about why you should be wary what you post on Facebook when going through a family separation law case. Section 121 of the Family Law Act imposes a widespread prohibition on the publication of any part of family law proceedings. The provision makes it unlawful (subject to exceptions) to publish information t...hat identifies any person who is a party to such proceedings or who is otherwise connected to proceedings. What about recording private conversations? In Queensland, Victoria and the Northern Territory, it is not a criminal offence for a party to a private conversation to record that conversation without the consent of the other participants, but it is an offence in those jurisdictions to publish that recording unless permitted in limited circumstances including in legal proceedings. Please be aware that different laws apply in other states and territories in Australia. If you have any questions about the contents in this post, or if you require legal represenation in your family law matter please feel free to contact our principal solcitor Andrew Lander on 0432 375 294. We would be happy to book you in for a free half hour initial consultation. Andrew Lander Lander Soliicitors

03.01.2022 A new online non-urgent method to contact QPS about domestic and family violence.

03.01.2022 Most people think of lawyers working from an office and having receptionists. We dont work that way. At our firm you get the Principal Solititor and firm owner on the phone each and every time. In the course of his holiday Andrew has picked up the phone to at least 4 clients. Life is a journey not a destination. If you want flexibility, dedication and accessibility in a lawyer look no further #landersolicitorsqueensland #FNQisbeautiful #familylawyer

02.01.2022 Im attending the QLS Symposium 2020. Continuing Legal Education is a critical part of being a lawyer.

01.01.2022 One of Andrew’s (our Principal and firm owner) favourite sayings is ‘buy it right or buy it twice’. The same goes for selecting a Family Lawyer. The number of clients that have presented to our office who have spent in excess of $40000 with another lawyer and their case hasn’t settled is remarkable. If you want the best representation by one of the best in the business give Andrew a call on 0432 375 294. You will save a lot of time, money and energy!
