23.01.2022 There are many paths to reaching a final settlement that does not involve you, or your former partner, having the Family Court make the decision for you. Mediation is one option to resolving matters without the need to go to Family Court. Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process to assist parties to reach settlement by mutual agreement. It is not always necessary to sit in a room with your former partner to enjoy the benefits of mediation. If settlement is reached ...at mediation, we can assist you in preparing the documents necessary to formalise that agreement. At Pemberton Robertson Family Lawyers, we actively encourage our clients to reach an agreement with their former spouses wherever possible. If you require any assistance in relation to mediation, please contact us today.

13.01.2022 A financial agreement is a legally binding document that sets out the parameters between couples in relation to financial matters. Often referred to as ‘prenups’, this document is used by parties who wish to protect their individual assets. It outlines the arrangements for a financial settlement in the event of separation. They can be entered into before, during or after a de facto relationship or marriage. Financial Agreements can be tricky to navigate. We can assist in negotiating, preparing or providing independent legal advice in relation to Financial Agreements. If you require any assistance in relation to Financial Agreements, please contact us today.

06.01.2022 Preparing your documents and getting finances in order following separation is a valuable first step in the settlement process. We recommend that you look at the following, if possible: + Secure your key personal documents (tax returns, payslips, citizenship documentation, and your Will) and make sure you can access them easily; + Make a list of your income and expenses; + Make a list of your assets and liabilities (noting that where you don't know the values, then you should... make enquiries about these); + Prepare for your first consultation with a family lawyer: even if you only ever have one appointment, the benefits of the advice will help you in the long run. Our advice to you can be much more targeted at the first appointment if you already have much of the information listed above, which helps you to maximise the benefits of the appointment.

05.01.2022 Navigating separation is extremely challenging. Both parents aim to be the best parent they can be for their children but this can be tough to achieve after separation for various reasons. Cooperative parenting is where both parents work together to make decisions about their children, aiming to keep the children shielded from the conflict between adults. Separation is an adult issue and children should not be involved in the conflict between their parents wherever possible. ... We understand that children’s matters during separation need to be navigated carefully. At PR Family Lawyers, we work with you from beginning to end and want to help you reach an agreement with your former partner about the care arrangements for your children. Head to our blog via our website for more information on co-parenting and the benefits to children. https://prfamilylawyers.com.au/co-parenting-and-the-benefi/

05.01.2022 At Pemberton Robertson Family Lawyers, we have extensive experience in guiding our clients through all aspects of children’s matters. We are often asked about the role of the Child Support Agency and how this service can be accessed by parents in the midst of separation. Child support is a mandatory obligation to financially support children by a parent (regardless of the status of the parent’s relationship). You can apply directly to the Child Support Agency for an assessment of child support. In some circumstances, parties may wish to have their own private arrangements. We can assist you in negotiating and documenting these arrangements. If you would like some advice about financial arrangements for children, contact us today.

05.01.2022 In the lead up to or after a relationship breakdown you will undoubtedly be overwhelmed and confused about what to do next. Here are some things to consider as part of the first steps in the process of separation: 1. Get some advice, even if it is just one session with a family lawyer you trust. The immediate benefit to you of speaking to a family lawyer is that you will have clear guidance on what you do and don’t need to do, pathways and options to reach settlement that yo...u may not be aware of and how the law would be applied to your unique circumstances; 2. Take a break from social media. What you say, write or do could be used against you later on; 3. Change your passwords and remove or disable sharing of your calendar and email accounts that you may have previously shared with your ex-partner; 4. Consider how you will tell your children about your separation and, if necessary, seek professional advice on the best way to manage this; 5. Start documenting vital information and locate your important documents (will, passport, visa, etc). Our lawyers can assist through all stages of the journey and will represent your best interests from day one. We work to create a genuine impact by guiding our clients through the complex legal system. We are honest and upfront about all our costs and will always work to keep your costs as low as possible, without compromising the quality of the legal representation.

04.01.2022 What are the benefits of engaging a family lawyer? We recommend that you obtain advice as soon as you have separated, or even if you are contemplating separation as it may help to keep things on track and out of the Family Court if you know how the law would apply to you. The immediate benefit to you from speaking to a family lawyer is that you will have clear guidance on matters such as:... + How the law would be applied to your unique circumstances + What you do and don’t need to do; + Pathways and options to reach settlement that you may not be aware of; and + A range of likely outcomes and options that you may not have thought of. Knowledge is power and knowing what to expect can help you to navigate separation much more smoothly.
