North Brisbane Family Law FAQs

Do I need a lawyer to go through a separation?

While it’s possible to separate without legal help, a family lawyer can guide you through important legal and financial decisions, including parenting arrangements, property division, and financial settlements. We help ensure your rights are protected and the process is handled correctly.

What is a parenting plan and is it legally enforceable?

A parenting plan is a written agreement that outlines care arrangements for your children. While it’s not legally enforceable, it helps provide clarity and reduce misunderstandings. If you want a binding agreement, we can help you apply for consent orders through the Family Court.

How is property divided after a relationship ends?

There’s no set formula. The division of property considers contributions (financial and non-financial), the length of the relationship, and each party’s future needs. We work to negotiate a fair outcome that reflects your individual circumstances.

What’s the difference between a financial agreement and a property settlement?

A financial agreement is a legally binding document made before, during, or after a relationship that outlines how assets will be divided. A property settlement is the actual division of property following separation. Our team can help with both, ensuring your agreement is legally sound.

How long after separation can I make a property settlement claim?

If you were married, you must apply within 12 months of your divorce being finalised. For de facto couples, you have 2 years from the date of separation. It’s best to get legal advice as early as possible to avoid missing deadlines.

Do you offer family law consultations in North Brisbane?

Yes. We offer fixed-fee initial consultations from our office in Nundah to help you understand your legal position and options moving forward. Whether you’re separating, finalising parenting arrangements, or need advice on property matters, we’re here to help.
