Our family lawyers will always aim to settle your matter out of Court via negotiation or early dispute resolution. This is usually much quicker and cost effective than Court litigation.
However we realise that for some people, a just, fair and acceptable result cannot be obtained without court intervention. In these situations, proceedings should be commenced in the Family Court or Federal Magistrate.
The Family Court has the power to determine outcomes in a number of areas including:
Our family lawyers have many years of experience in preparing applications to the family law courts for a range of issues. Our lawyers are experienced litigators and will fight vigorously for your rights.
When a matter is in court, or about to be lodged with a Court, it is extremely important that all aspects of your case are considered. This includes gathering the appropriate evidence and obtaining certain information from the other side in order to have the matter comprehensively prepared prior to court.
Before commencing any Court proceedings our family lawyers will advise you of the estimated costs and the possible outcomes of such action to enable you to make an informed decision with how you wish to proceed with your matter.
In some cases it is helpful to brief a barrister. Prime Lawyers regularly brief a range of experienced family law barristers (including senior counsel) and are able to assist you in your selection of an appropriate court advocate for your matter.
