Four files, one strategy.
Most separations touch three of these four at once. We run them as one strategy, not four files on four desks, because that's where the expensive mistakes happen.
01 · Property / Financial Settlement
The asset pool, the super, the house.
Property settlement, super splits, business structures, the family home. The decisions you make in the first ninety days set the next ten years. I'll show you which ones, in what order, and what they cost.
Property settlement for men →02 · Parenting
Time with your kids, on paper.
Orders, time-with arrangements, relocation, the May 2024 reforms. I build these around what your children actually need, not around what feels like winning the week.
Parenting and custody for men →03 · Domestic Violence
Protection orders: responding or applying.
Responding to protection-order applications that need to be defended. Applying where protection is needed. Navigating cross-orders. The legal stakes are immediate (bail, contact, firearms, employment in some sectors) and the playbook from there is narrow. Protection orders are state-based; we'll confirm whether we can act or whether a local referral is better.
Domestic violence orders, both sides →04 · Divorce
Divorce lawyers for men in Brisbane.
Forge is Brisbane-based, at Kelvin Grove, and acts for men across Australia by phone and video. The divorce order itself is the simplest part of the file. What burns men is the sequence: the twelve-month clock, the sole-or-joint call, and the time limits that start the day the order takes effect. I run the application inside a written property and parenting strategy, so nothing starts ticking before you're ready.
Divorce for men: the application, sequenced →What you won't see here
Mediation, consent orders, financial agreements aren't their own service.
They're tools we use inside the four files above. A financial agreement is really property settlement by another name; mediation and consent orders are ways of getting there, not separate services. Categorising them separately on a marketing page is how firms end up running them separately on a fee schedule. We don't do that.
Right now is hard. If you're not okay:
