Empathy, dedication and passion are three words I would use to describe Maggie Orman and her team. Maggie has been my family lawyer for over 10 years and has guided me through many difficult periods of my life, and ensured I came out the other end a stronger woman and mother.

Frequently Asked Family Law Questions

When should I speak to a family lawyer after separation?

You can obtain family law advice before or after separation. Getting advice early can help you understand your legal position before making important decisions about children, property, finances or living arrangements. You do not need to wait until a disagreement develops before speaking with a family lawyer.

Do children automatically spend equal time with each parent after separation?
No. There is no automatic rule requiring children to spend equal time with each parent.
Parenting arrangements depend on the circumstances of each family, with the best interests of the child being the paramount consideration when a court makes parenting orders. A family lawyer can advise you about parenting arrangements and how the law may apply to your circumstances.
How is property divided after separation?
There is no automatic 50/50 division of property following separation.
The outcome depends on the circumstances of the relationship and the application of Australian family law. Property matters involve consideration of the parties’ assets and liabilities, contributions, current and future circumstances, and whether the proposed outcome is just and equitable. Because every financial situation is different, obtaining advice before agreeing to a property settlement can help you understand the potential legal and financial consequences.
Do we have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many family law matters are resolved without a final court hearing. Depending on the circumstances, negotiation, mediation, family dispute resolution and other processes may help parties reach an agreement. Court proceedings may be necessary where agreement cannot be reached, urgent orders are required or circumstances make alternative dispute resolution inappropriate.
