In all areas of law we are committed to assessing the suitability of all of our client's matters for alternative dispute resolution.  Litigation, in our view, should be a last resort in family law matters and generally better outcomes are available through alternative dispute resolution processes.  

We have a proven ability to deal with your family law matter:

• Whether a complex financial issue involving companies and trusts; or 
• Consent Orders finalising property matters; 
• Children’s matters involving all parenting issues (relocation and recovery of children); 
• Parenting plans and consent orders; 
• Financial Agreements (Pre-nuptial Agreements, Separation Agreements in marriages or defacto relationships); 
• Divorce Applications; 
• Child Support Agreements/litigation.

Where ever possible our focus is on resolving disputes through alternative dispute resolution methods including:

• Negotiation
• Mediation
• Collaborative law

Few legal practices can offer such a broad range of alternative dispute resolution services. However, if alternative dispute resolution is not an option or fails, we are experienced court litigators. You can be assured of competent representation.

Of course if litigation is the only method of resolution available we are experienced advocates and litigators in our fields of expertise.

Our main office is situated in the readily accessible suburb of Springwood and we have a visited office at Helensvale for the convenience of our clients who reside south of Brisbane and on the Gold Coast.

Please take your time to read through the information available on our website.  You will benefit from being aware of the methods of resolution available to you, resulting in cost savings and most importantly better outcomes.

                              What is a Queensland Law society "Accredited Family Law Specialist"?

To become an Accredited Specialist, a solicitor must undertake advanced study and complete and pass written and practical examinations in the specialist area. The solicitor must have been practising full time for at least five years and more than 25% of their work has to have been in that field of law. To retain specialist accreditation, the solicitor must complete a minimum amount of training each year.

Solicitors do not have to be Accredited Specialists to work in the area of family law, but accreditation demonstrates a high level of expertise in this area.

Our Partner, Randal Binnie, is an Accredited Family Law Specialist.
