Separation
When separating, families are also faced with
difficult decisions regarding child arrangements, property division, financial
arrangements and future negotiation and communication.
Our family lawyers are able to advise on all aspects
of these decisions, and have the knowledge and experience necessary to
negotiate and, if required, represent and advocate on your behalf.
Have you considered:
·
Who
the children will live with, and whether arrangements for how and when they
will spend time with the non-residential parent?
·
How
major long-term decisions concerning the children will be made?
·
What
will happen to your children if one parent decides to relocate?
·
How
each party will financially support themselves and your children?
·
How
matrimonial assets such as the family home, superannuation and bank accounts
will be divided?
·
Who
will pay outstanding bills or debts?
·
Whether
you or your partner may be eligible to apply for spousal maintenance or child
support?
·
Your
or your partner’s ability to gain meaningful employment in the future?
Even where parties are able to come to a mutual
agreement in relation to such matters, it is important to seek the advice of an
experienced lawyer in order to ensure that your (and your children’s) rights
and interests are being protected and that the agreement is fair and likely to
be honored. At Rankin Ellison, our expert lawyers have extensive experience in
helping clients move forward with their lives following an often traumatic and
uncertain time. We understand that the needs of our clients vary according to
individual circumstances and tailor our advice and service to reflect this.
