Divorce & Family Law

The Family Court of Western Australia sits throughout Western Australia and, as such, we are able to appear in person, by telephone, or with the assistance of barristers to ensure our clients receive appropriate representation.  We believe in settling family law disputes if at all possible, recognising that often litigation will further polarise the parties which, when children are involved, often leads to an irretrievable breakdown in communications which is far-reaching and does not assist either party in the healing process or with children coming to grips in the change in their family dynamics.  We offer practical and sensible advice in both children and financial matters and focus on the commercial realities in settlement of financial disputes as often the give and take approach is far better in the final analysis than allowing or encouraging parties to argue over the wooden spoon or small amounts of money.  We aim to preserve, as far as possible, good relations between the parties so that, hopefully, in the long term, communication lines remain open and children continue to enjoy the love and security of both parents.
