After the breakdown of a marriage or relationship it is common then to resolve “who gets what” – the financial property settlement. The family lawyers at our firm have a wealth of experience in this complicated area of law.
There are a variety of issues which need to be considered, some of which you may not even have thought are relevant such as your and your ex-partner’s superannuation. Our family lawyers carefully consider all aspects of your case and advise you on what you are entitled to. They will then negotiate with the other side in an attempt to reach an amicable outcome.
We understand the pain and expense which can arise from lengthy court battles and you can be assured that our family lawyers aim to settle the matter without recourse to court action.
If your matter settles out of court we will draft consent orders or a binding financial agreement in order to enable the settlement to be formally recognised by the Australian legal system.
If negotiation fails, our family lawyers are experienced in acting in applications to the Family Court or Federal Magistrates Court to ensure your rights are protected. Our family lawyers & solicitors are experienced in court room litigation and will fight vigorously for your rights.
The family law team at Prime Lawyers will carefully consider every aspect of your case. Please contact us on (02) 9521 2222 to speak with a family lawyer today. You can also send through your enquiry online now and we will contact you shortly

3. Who looked after the children
4. Gifts received by either party
5. How much did each party contribute financially
6. Any inheritances
Strict time limits apply to commencing property settlement proceedings in a Court. It is important that you seek proper legal advice as soon as possible.
