Child Custody Lawyer Cranbourne - Legal Support for Parenting Matters

Decision making in the best interests of your children is never easy, especially when you are also dealing with the emotional and practical challenges of separation. It can be difficult to focus on their future while trying to secure your own, often without the support of a partner for the first time.

If you are based in Cranbourne, our experienced child custody lawyers at Just Family Law are here to help. We provide clear, practical advice to guide you through parenting disputes with care and confidence.

We have supported thousands of parents, including many in the Cranbourne area, to navigate parenting arrangements. Every family situation is different, which is why we tailor our approach, whether it involves negotiation, mediation, or going to court.

Even when both parents want what is best for their children, disagreements can arise. Our child custody lawyer in Cranbourne can provide clear insight into how judges and child experts are likely to assess your situation, helping you make confident, informed decisions early.Even well-intentioned parents can find themselves in conflict over:

  • Parenting styles and expectations
  • Number of nights per fortnight
  • Changeover logistics
  • School selection(public or private)
  • Christmas, birthdays, and school holiday schedules

While many parenting matters are resolved out of court, we have acted for parents in difficult situations involving the particular challenges of:

  • Stubborn and unrealistic spouses
  • Vengeful and abusive parents
  • Relocation
  • Schooling after separation
  • Mental illness
  • Irresponsibility
  • Drug and alcohol abuse

Our child custody lawyers in Cranbourne work to protect your child’s best interests while helping you navigate even the most sensitive or highconflict cases.

The Family Law Act encourages children to maintain strong and meaningful relationships with both parents, provided it is safe and appropriate. Recent changes to the law mean that judges now focus more on the practical, long-term wellbeing of children, rather than just seeking equal time.

Early advice from an experienced family law lawyer can help prevent years of conflict and support a more stable environment for your children.

Call Just Family Law today on 03 9793 7888 to book a confidential consultation. We will walk you through the relevant law, help you understand your options, and support you every step of the way.

    I highly recommend Sally O'Connor and Just Family Law.
    Our circumstances in engaging JFL were due to the sudden and tragic passing of my sister. Sally assisted our family through complex legal proceedings as we sought full parental responsibilities for her three children, my nieces and nephew.
    Sally was able to shift from holding my hand and passing tissues, to providing practical solutions, advice and guidance on how best to navigate the legal system and achieve what was in the best interest of the kids.
    Thank you Sally, we will never be able to express how much you did for us and how your counsel and friendship helped us navigate an incredibly difficult time.
    No hesitation at all in recommending Sally, and the JFL team.

    A barrister pointed me to them saying they were good for other referrals and I'm so happy I did engage them. I've heard horror stories but Sally and David were great. Not exactly cheap but seemed priceless. I recommend.

    I recently engaged Just Family Law to assist with the preparation of a Binding Financial Agreement and could not have been happier with the advice and service I received. From reception to solicitors to assistants they were approachable, compassionate, knowledgable and expert in family law issues. I highly recommend
