Family law covers legal issues related to family relationships, such as divorce, child custody, spousal support, and property settlements. Our family law experts are here to guide you through these sensitive matters with care and professionalism.

The duration of the divorce process varies depending on individual circumstances. Typically, it can take between 4 to 6 months from filing the application to the finalisation of the divorce. Our lawyers will provide a clear timeline based on your specific case and current Court processing times.

Yes, legal aid is available for family law matters on a capacity basis. You will need to contact our office to enquire about our current Legal Aid availability.

Child support is a financial contribution made by a parent to help with the costs of raising their child. It is typically paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent. Any parent or legal guardian responsible for a child may be eligible to receive child support.

Factors that can affect child support payments include changes in either parent’s income, changes in care arrangements, new relationships or children, and changes in the children’s needs.

You can apply for a child support assessment through the Department of Human Services (DHS) online, by phone, or by submitting a paper application form. Don’t hesitate to contact the Family Focus team regarding any questions you have or help you may need! Contact us via our contact page, or schedule a chat today!

Yes, child support arrangements can be changed if there are significant changes in circumstances, such as income changes, changes in care arrangements, or changes in the child’s needs. Either parent can request a reassessment through DHS.

Yes, parents can make their own child support agreements, either as a Binding Child Support Agreement or a Limited Child Support Agreement. These agreements must be in writing, and Binding Agreements require both parties to obtain independent legal advice. Feel free to contact our passionate staff if you require child support agreements.

A will ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death. It also helps minimise potential disputes among your beneficiaries. Our team can help you draft a legally sound will that reflects your intentions.

Dying without a will (intestate) means your assets will be distributed according to State laws, which may not align with your wishes. It can also lead to delays and additional costs for your loved ones.

It is recommended to review and update your will every 3 to 5 years, or whenever there is a significant change in your circumstances, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or acquiring substantial assets.

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one party to another. It involves preparing and reviewing legal documents, ensuring compliance with laws, and managing the settlement process.

The conveyancing process typically takes between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the transaction. Our conveyancers will keep you informed throughout each step of the process.

While it’s possible to handle conveyancing yourself, it is highly recommended to engage a qualified lawyer or licensed conveyancer to avoid potential legal pitfalls and ensure a smooth transaction. Family Focus Legal can help with your conveyancing needs.
