: Child Custody Lawyer Glen Waverley – Legal Support for Parenting Matters
Making decisions in your child’s best interests is never easy, especially when you are also dealing with the emotional and practical demands of separation. It can feel overwhelming to plan for your children’s future while adjusting to life without a partner’s support.
If you are based in Glen Waverley or surrounding suburbs such as Mount Waverley, Wheelers Hill or Burwood, our experienced child custody lawyers at Just Family Law are here to help. We provide clear, practical legal advice to guide you through parenting disputes with empathy and confidence.
We’ve supported many families in Glen Waverley in resolving parenting matters. Every family situation is different, which is why we tailor our approach, whether through negotiation, mediation, or representation in the Family Court.
Even when both parents want what is best for their children, disputes can arise. Our child custody lawyer in Glen Waverley can offer practical insight into how judges and child specialists are likely to view your situation, helping you make informed and confident decisions from the start.Even well-intentioned parents can find themselves in conflict over:
- Parenting styles and expectations
- Number of nights per fortnight
- Schooling choices (public or private)
- Changeover logistics
- Holiday schedules, birthdays, and special occasions
While many parenting issues are resolved out of court, we regularly assist in more complex situations, including:
- Stubborn or unrealistic ex-partners

The Family Law Act promotes a child’s right to maintain strong and meaningful relationships with both parents, where safe and appropriate. Recent updates to the Act have shifted the way judges approach parenting disputes, with a greater emphasis on stability and long-term wellbeing.
Early advice from an experienced family law lawyer can make all the difference. By understanding your rights and options early, you can reduce conflict and move forward with greater clarity.

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.
