Jonson Leo

Family Dispute Lawyer Mornington

At Just Family Law, we support separating couples in Mornington and surrounding areas to resolve family law matters in a respectful and cost-effective way. With over 25 years of experience, we guide clients through negotiation, mediation, and other dispute resolution processes that avoid the stress and delays of court proceedings.

We understand the emotional and financial pressure that often comes with separation. Our aim is to help you resolve issues fairly and efficiently, whether they involve parenting arrangements, property division, or financial matters.

Should you negotiate?

Almost always. In most cases, negotiation or mediation leads to better outcomes, quicker resolutions, and less expense than going to court.

Options for Family Dispute Resolution include:

  • Informal negotiation – discussing directly with the other party after receiving legal advice
  • Round table conference – structured discussion with both parties and their lawyers present
  • Pre-court mediation – a confidential process led by an independent mediator
  • Case Assessment Conference – a court-supported conference guided by a Registrar, often resolving standard matters early
  • Conciliation Conference – a court-ordered process helping resolve financial disputes before trial
  • Ongoing negotiation – at every court stage, from interim hearings to trial, parties are encouraged to settle
  • Collaborative law – an agreement-based process where all parties commit to resolving matters without litigation

Mediation and Collaborative Law in Mornington

We work with impartial, experienced mediators who are skilled in assisting parties to reach mutually acceptable agreements. Mediation can be held over a series of sessions or conducted as a full-day process, depending on what suits both parties. Collaborative law is another pathway for those willing to commit to avoiding court, although it requires formal agreement and can be more intensive.

Not every case can be resolved through these channels. If court is necessary, we ensure your matter is properly prepared and presented.

    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
