22.01.2022 Q. My assets are companies and trusts where I am the director and trustee. This means my assets are protected, right? Wrong. The applicable law is control, and if it is clear you are in control of an entity (such as being the Director or Trustee), or it is clear you carry out all the decision making regarding the entity, it is then an asset of the relationship that can be included in the settlement.

13.01.2022 This case is yet another example of the system failing our children and families. Human error and a glitch in operating systems and technology, should not be allowed as an excuse. There was clear and admitted oversight of reporting which contributed to the tragic end of three lives. There were warning signs there usually are. So how and when do we start ensuring fewer lives are lost to domestic violence? Because we all play a role. bit.ly/2FI8ZVk

12.01.2022 Can I stop my partner divorcing me? What are your rights and responsibilities if one party wants a divorce? In 2018, Australia registered 119,188 marriages. In the same year, 49,404 divorces were granted. That’s almost 42 percent of the number of people getting married, attaining a divorce. It doesn’t sound quite as astounding when phrased as ‘two out of every one-thousand residents,’ but overall, these are not happy statistics. What is disconcerting though, is the fact that ...many divorces result from one just one partner wanting a change in their relationship. https://www.toomeyfamilylaw.com.au/can-i-stop-my-partner-d/ #divorce #separation #familylawyer

12.01.2022 GRAPPLING WITH FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN I am seeing more and more intractable settlements come through my door and its clear to me one of the significant reasons matters have not settled is fear of the unknown. What will my life look like financially moving forward? How will I support myself? I dont trust the disclosure process. Manoeuvring clients to settle is a skill and one that lawyers should wear with a badge of honour. I have always held high regard for the lawyer th...at can move to a settlement efficiently once all the elements of discovery and agreed balance sheets have been taken care of. Thats where the real skill lay. With COVID-19 adding even more fear and pressure to people's lives, we, as professionals, have a duty to step up, even more, to guide them to calm and safe shores. I am honoured that our Toomey Family Law team has grown the past month to help us serve more families. Emma Middleton, Erika Giles and Kate Gordon have joined us and we look forward to introducing them to you officially in the coming weeks. Further to this, we are thrilled that we will soon be releasing our very first TV and social video campaign. The experience has been quite exciting and revealing as to how much work goes into crafting the right message. We have shared some behind the scenes pictures from Blue Clay Creatives, below. The Commercial will be launched in the coming weeks so be sure to keep an eye out. As always, thank you for your support in getting our Firm started and going from strength to strength. I firmly believe we are in a position to help reframe the way Family Law matters are dealt with. I appreciate your support in helping us achieve our goals and instil our values more widely in the market. All the best, Leisa Toomey Principal

04.01.2022 Should you get a Private Investigator to help with your settlement outcome? This recent case in the media about a woman hiring a PI to catch out her cheating husband is certainly a juicy read however, it could be misleading to some. In Australia, we have a no fault provision under the Family Law Act which means you can have multiple affairs and liaisons and it wont impact the financial outcome UNLESS you can prove significant wastage because of the affair. In this exam...ple, the timeshare usage could have been that very example. Private Investigators do have their time and place for separating couples where there is a lack of evidence and allegations being made that have to be proven. However its important not to interpret this as the wronged party being entitled to a better financial settlement. https://www.news.com.au///5eebd932dd13b078886e7bba6a195e5a

02.01.2022 Separating from a partner after years, even decades is an emotional journey. Combined with finances and custody, it can also be messy.
