Gold Coast Family Law Services
Every family law situation is unique. Our team of lawyers are prepared to assist in everything from civil settlements to high-stake cases.
Divorce & Separation
Divorce is never any easy situation, even when it is mutually decided. Our Gold Coast family lawyers will take the time to understand you, your ex partner, and the situation, so they can offer the clearest legal advice possible.
Property Settlements
Given the high-value of some of the properties in the Gold Coast, like Mermaid Beach and Burleigh, our lawyers will work to protect these assets. Dividing assets, especially after a divorce, can be complex. With the right help, you can lessen the stress.
Child Custody & Parenting Agreements
Children will always be the top priority in family courts, so they will also always be ours. Our Gold Coast family lawyers will help you plan and establish a stable arrangement with the child’s best interest in mind.
Consent Orders
Obtaining a consent order is a way of resolving familial or other disputes without having to make an appearance in court. Contact our Gold Coast family lawyers today for assistance.
Prenuptial Agreement
A prenuptial agreement can help provide you with more financial certainty. If a post-nuptial agreement is needed, our lawyers can assist there too. Let us help you protect your assets.

FAQs
Find answers to common questions about legal processes and what you can expect.
How long will property settlement take in the Gold Coast?
Timelines for property settlement can vary based on the factors involved in the case. The number of assets involved, and the level of cooperation that happens can shorten or lengthen the process. Our goal is to keep the process for both parties as short as possible, ideally avoiding long court proceedings.
What is the difference between a parenting plan and a consent order or custody order
While a parenting plan can help streamline the process, it is not legally binding. A parenting plan is a written agreement that requires the cooperation of both parties. If cooperation is unattainable, a consent order can be obtained and approved by the courts.
I want a divorce, but I don't want to go to court. Is that possible?
In many cases, yes. If the divorce application is administrative in nature and their are no disputes regarding children or property, parties may not need to go to court. Our lawyers will work with you to resolve familial issues outside of the court.
