How we can
help you
Our expertise lies in Family and Relationship Law, with a dedicated
practice focused exclusively on helping clients navigate the complexities
of separation, divorce, parenting arrangements and more.
We assist with all aspects of parenting matters, including negotiating custody arrangements, drafting parenting plans, and addressing concerns with child support.
We help you navigate financial settlements, including the division of property, superannuation, debts, and spousal maintenance, ensuring a fair distribution of assets and support, tailored to your unique circumstances.
We assist with matters involving all forms of family violence and can help navigate the complexities of Intervention Order (IVO) matters. Personal safety is paramount in Family Law matters and is often one of the first challenges for our clients to overcome.
We can assist you through each step of divorce process, from filing the application, through to the final grant of the divorce order. A common misconception is that a divorce includes a property settlement and parenting arrangement. However, formalising a divorce is a separate process and is usually the final step in a separation.
We provide expert advice on de facto relationships, including property division, financial support, and parenting arrangements. Our team helps clarify your rights and responsibilities in circumstances where you are not married.
LGBTQIA+ families often face obstacles that are unique. We are pleased to support queer families to navigate their separation and find a solution that is tailored to their particular family dynamic. The law regarding parentage, where one party is not the biological parent of a child is complex, and it is important to understand your rights when separating.
Compassion
By actively listening to your concerns, we create a safe space where you are heard and feel true support.
Clarity
We offer honest, straightforward advice that simplifies a complex process.
Strength
We help you tackle each challenge head-on, ensuring you feel confident to speak up.
Flexible payment options
We understand that legal matters often cause additional financial stress, at an already emotional time. At Forward, we offer flexible payment options to make the process more manageable.
