24.01.2022 Our Principal Solicitor, Fatoum Souki sharing her experience and journey in leading the way as a successful young lawyer and businesswoman.

23.01.2022 Divorce is the formal legal ending of a marriage. At Souki Lawyers, we understand the difficulties individuals experience when experiencing the breakdown of a relationship. Our approach is one centred on transparency in legal process, together with empathy and understanding. Our aim is to ensure that the already difficult road ahead is somewhat clearer. ... A divorce application is made in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia who has jurisdiction to deal with the dissolution of marriage pursuant to Part VI of the Family Law Act 1975. If you are in Western Australia, you will need to apply to the Family Court of Western Australia. In Australia, the law does not consider whose fault it is that the marriage broke down. However, the Court must be satisfied: 1. A marriage existed; 2. The parties are ordinarily domiciled in Australia; 3. The parties have separated for a period of 12 months; and 4. The marriage has broken down irretrievably. Whilst a divorce order will not include parenting or property arrangements, if you have children under the age of 18, the Court must consider whether the parties have made proper arrangements for their care, development and welfare. If granted, a Divorce Order will take effect following one month and one day from the date of Order. You will not be able to re-marry until the divorce order is finalised. Our Lawyers are highly experienced in Family Law and may assist you in all aspects of a divorce, including making the application, serving same on your ex-spouse and appearing on your behalf in Court. Recently, the Court has begun to conduct divorce hearings by telephone in light of COVID-19 restrictive requirements which are necessarily imposed by the Government. Contact our office on (03) 9398 0200 for a free consultation and to understand the impact COVID 19 may have on your family matter.

19.01.2022 Souki Lawyers recently achieved a great outcome for a client in the Fair Work Commission for an unfair dismissal claim . We negotiated and settled the matter on the basis our client is paid an equivalent of 5 months worth of wages because reinstatement was not the appropriate remedy. This being a great outcome in an unfair dismissal claim as the maximum compensation the Commission can award an employee is 6 months of their ordinary pay. We understand the impact Coronavirus ...is having on our community, there have been those who have had their employment terminated as a direct result of the economic unrest. At Souki Lawyers, our aim is to deliver exceptional services by thoroughly understanding the legal avenues, but also understanding the human experience of our clients - especially in the domain of a person(s) livelihood. If you have a matter for which you wish to seek advice, please do not hesitate to contact our office (03) 93980200. Fatoum Souki Sarah Khattab Esra Chaouk Sarah Baarini

17.01.2022 Separation and divorce is a stressful time for families. However, despite the disunion of the parents, they remain to be the most important people in the child/ren's lives. Therefore, it is important that children continue to receive the love, care and support of both parents. On average, 49,000 divorces per annum are granted in Australia, of them, 47% involve child/ren. In most cases, prior to making a divorce order, the Court must be satisfied that proper arrangements have ...been made for the care, welfare and development of those children. If you or your child/ren are feeling stressed following separation, or you wish to document a parenting arrangement that ensures that the children of the relationship continue to have a meaningful relationship with both their parents, contact our dedicated family lawyers on (03) 9398 0200 for a confidential chat of the available options.

06.01.2022 Respondents to an Intervention Order will often consent without admission to the Order with a view to finalise the matter. In Victoria under Section 3 of the Firearms Act 1996 (the 'Act'), you will be deemed a prohibited person if you are subject to a Final Intervention Order. Being deemed a prohibited person means that you will not be able to possess a firearms licence for the duration of the Order and for five years following its expiry.... You may be able to apply to the Court to be deemed a non-prohibited person under Section 189 of the Act. Should the application be successful, your firearms licence will be reinstated if it has been suspended or alternatively you will have the liberty to apply for a new licence if it has been cancelled. If you are the respondent to a Final Intervention Order and wish to retain or obtain a firearms licence, we suggest you immediately contact one of our expert criminal lawyers to obtain legal advice. Our experts will be able to lodge an application on your behalf to have your status as a prohibited person revoked. Our lawyers are highly experienced in these matters and are able advise you of your chances off success and what conditions (if any) that a Magistrate might seek to attach to the licence. Contact our office on (03) 9398 0200 today.

05.01.2022 At Souki Lawyers we understand the uncertainty surrounding the Stage 4 restrictions imposed on our community as a result of COVID-19. Even whilst working off site, our aim is to ensure all our clients needs are met in these unprecedented times. Despite the current climate, today we attended an intervention order mention in the Magistrates Court of Victoria at Broadmeadows. The Magistrates Court continues to hear all urgent and priority matters relating to personal safety intervention orders and family violence. If you have a matter for which you wish to seek advice, or know someone who needs assistance please do not hesitate to contact our office (03) 93980200.

05.01.2022 Family Law matters can be quite strenuous. This stress is easily exasperated if your partner refuses to cooperate in the resolution process. It is important that you seek independent legal advice and ask your solicitor to help you negotiate an agreement with your partner. If an early resolution is not possible, or where your partner refuses to acknowledge your solicitor's correspondence, you may have to make an application to court for children or property adjustment orders. ...Your partner should cooperate with the Court process, however, should they refuse to do so, rest assured, as this will not prevent you from resolving the matter. Contact Souki Lawyers on (03) 9398 0300 for a free consultation.
