Trusted family law support for Berwick and the south east suburbs
When you are dealing with a family law matter such as separation, divorce, parenting arrangements or a property settlement, having an experienced family lawyer close to home makes a real difference. From our Berwick office we help individuals and families across Casey and the wider south east of Melbourne work through some of life's most difficult moments with clarity and confidence.
Family law disputes can be complex, drawn out and emotionally draining. Our role is to take the weight off your shoulders, explain exactly where you stand under Victorian and federal family law, and map out the practical steps ahead. We take the time to understand your goals, then build an approach tailored to your circumstances rather than a one size fits all solution.
Above all, we believe in clear and honest communication. You will always understand how your matter is progressing and what choices are available to you, in plain language and without unnecessary jargon.

What areas around Berwick do you assist?
From our Berwick office we help clients across Casey and the south east of Melbourne, as well as further afield across Victoria. Much of what we do can be handled by phone and email where that is more convenient for you.
How long will my family law matter take?
Every matter is different. How quickly things resolve depends on how much you and your former partner can agree, the complexity of your finances and how promptly information can be exchanged. We always aim to resolve matters as efficiently as possible.
What are the requirements for a divorce in Australia?
To obtain a divorce you need to show the court that the marriage has broken down irretrievably, usually demonstrated by being separated for at least 12 months. We can talk you through the requirements and handle the application for you.
