Compassionate family law support

Family Law Services

Family law matters can be complex, emotional and deeply personal. At Z & Z Lawyers, we provide clear, practical and strategic legal advice to help you understand your options and make confident decisions about your future and your family.

Parenting & Parenting Orders

When parents separate, making arrangements for children is often the most important issue. We help you navigate parenting disputes, parenting plans, parenting orders and custody arrangements, with the best interests of your children at the Centre of our advice.

Separation & Divorce

Separation can raise important questions about your children, finances, property and future. We provide straightforward legal advice from the early stages of separation through to the filing of divorce application.

We explain your rights, responsibilities and options and guide you through the legal process so you can move forward with greater certainty.

Property & Financial Settlements

Separating your finances can be one of the most challenging parts of ending a relationship. We assist with the division of property, assets, liabilities, superannuation and business interests.

Our approach is focused on achieving a fair and practical outcome through negotiation, mediation, consent orders or court proceedings where necessary.

Child Support

Every family has different financial circumstances. We provide advice about child support assessments, private child support agreements, binding child support agreements and child support disputes.

We help you understand your obligations and entitlements and work towards arrangements that appropriately support your children's needs.

Spousal Maintenance

Financial circumstances can change significantly after separation. If you need financial support from a former partner, or you have received a spousal maintenance claim, we can advise you about your rights and available options.

We provide practical advice tailored to your financial circumstances and future needs.

Consent Orders & Family Law Agreements

An agreement is only valuable if it is properly documented and legally effective. We prepare and review consent orders, parenting agreements and binding financial agreements (BFAs) to help give you certainty about your arrangements.

Our lawyers can help ensure your agreement reflects your intentions and provides appropriate legal protection.

Mediation & Dispute Resolution

Going to court is not always the best way to resolve a family law dispute. Where appropriate, we help clients resolve matters through negotiation, family dispute resolution and mediation.

Our focus is on resolving disputes efficiently and constructively while protecting your interests and reducing unnecessary stress and legal costs.

Family Violence & Protection Orders

If family violence is involved, obtaining the right legal advice quickly can be critical. We assist with matters involving domestic and family violence, Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs), parenting disputes and urgent court applications.

We take a sensitive and practical approach, with safety and the wellbeing of you and your children as a priority.

De Facto Relationships

The end of a de facto relationship can involve many of the same financial and parenting issues as a marriage. We advise de facto partners about property settlements, financial disputes, superannuation and parenting matters.

 

Relocation & Travel Disputes

Moving interstate or overseas can have a major impact on parenting arrangements. We advise and represent parents involved in relocation, international travel and interstate travel disputes.

We help you understand the legal considerations and develop a strategy focused on protecting your children's best interests.

Every family law matter is different. Whether you are considering separation, negotiating parenting arrangements, dividing your assets or facing court proceedings, getting the right advice early can make a significant difference.
