Your respected and professional family lawyers in Grafton
At Gallaghers, our specialised family lawyers understand the sensitive nature of family proceedings and that some of these decisions will be made at highly emotional, and at times vulnerable, stages of your life. Our trusted team in Grafton provides a non-confrontational approach when trying to resolve legal matters. We offer calm, objective, and expert legal advice during what can be a confusing time and motion for solutions that reduce the strain on all those involved.
Providing confidential advice with effective representation, we want to resolve your matter as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Wherever feasible, we like to encourage resolutions out of court rather than litigation, however, we are fully equipped to advise on court proceedings if they present the most sensible way of achieving the desired outcome. For further information contact our team today.
What our family lawyers can help with
- Our team of lawyers can assist with a wide range of family law services including:
- Divorce
- De facto relationships
- Same-sex relationships
- Property division
- Parenting arrangements for children
- Child Support
- Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders
- Alternative dispute resolution
We will always try to avoid ‘the battle’.
Some of the most difficult disputes and issues relate to children and child arrangements – whether between parents following the breakdown of their relationship (often divorce or de facto relationships) or in relation to care proceedings and support. In these difficult circumstances, we encourage both sides to put the interests of their children ahead of the hurt and emotional trauma that inevitably follows a separation and can help mediate communication proceedings if you need or want to.
Another complex area that needs to be addressed when a relationship breaks down is finances. Sorting out finances requires your family lawyer to adopt a positive and constructive approach, aimed at minimising emotional and monetary burdens, but also taking the steps to defend and protect your best interests. At Gallaghers, we work closely with financial advisors, accountants, and any other professional service provider required to sustain a solution that will appropriately provide for your future.
If you are involved in domestic abuse and would like advice on how to proceed, please get in touch with our team for a confidential discussion.
