Family Law

Gilmore Lawyers appreciate fully that family separation/divorce is a highly stressful and emotional time for everyone involved, including the children. We endeavour to deal with your matter with respect and empathy to help you through the difficult times.

The Australian family law system is there to help former partners untangle their shared assets and their rights and responsibilities in relation to their children and find an equitable balance to allow each party to move on. Not every matter needs to go to court or be a dispute.  In fact, many matters concerning children and property are able to be settled between the parties with the assistance of a solicitor and without the intervention of a court.

Gilmore Lawyers not only assist with separated/separating parties but are able to help re-partnered couples protect assets at the onset of a new relationship.

We can assist with:

  • Divorce
  • Spousal maintenance
  • Child support issues
  • Family Dispute Resolution Conferences and  private mediations
  • Parenting plans
  • Children and Property Consent Orders
  • Contravention Orders
  • Recovery and Relocation Applications and Orders
  • Magellan (child abuse) matters
  • Grandparent Applications
  • Hague Convention Applications
  • De facto property settlement
  • Binding Financial Agreements (pre-nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements and separation agreements)
  • Domestic violence matters
