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.

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.

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.

The legal end of the marriage.
The divorce order itself is the simplest part. But it has its own twelve-month clock, sole-vs-joint application choices, and time-bars after the order that ruin property and parenting matters for the men who didn't realise they'd started running.

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:
