Family Dispute Lawyer Narre Warren

At Just Family Law, we support families in Narre Warren and nearby areas to resolve disputes respectfully and efficiently. Whether you are working through a parenting disagreement or dividing property, we help you explore alternatives to court that lead to better outcomes.

We understand the stress that separating parties endure and aim to provide the best and cost-effective outcome for mediating parties. With over 25 years of exclusive family law experience, we guide you through your options with a focus on clarity and resolution.

Should you negotiate?

Almost always. Negotiation is often the quickest and least expensive way to settle family law disputes, and it is encouraged at every stage.

Options for Family Dispute Resolution include:

  • Negotiation with legal guidance – more effective than navigating issues alone
  • Lawyer-assisted round table discussions – a structured setting to reach agreement
  • Mediation – facilitated by an independent, qualified professional
  • Case Assessment Conference – part of court proceedings, offering guided early resolution
  • Conciliation Conference – court-organised for more complex property matters
  • Ongoing negotiation – encouraged even during interim and trial stages
  • Collaborative law – where all parties agree in advance to resolve matters outside court

Working with mediators and avoiding court

Mediators provide impartial support and help separating couples reach fair and workable solutions. Sessions can run over several weeks or be completed in a single day. If agreement is not reached, court remains an option. However, many outcomes reached through mediation are more personalised than what a judge might order.

While collaborative law is suitable for some, it involves formal agreements and replacement of lawyers if negotiations break down. We can help you assess whether this process is right for your circumstances.

Why choose Just Family Law?

With over 25 years of exclusive family law experience, we understand how to guide you through family disputes with care and purpose. A family dispute lawyer in Narre Warren will help you assess your options and take the right next step.

    I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Sally! She handled my custody case, and she always responded in a timely matter! Reassured me when I was anxious and freaking out. I got such a good outcome and words can't even describe how grateful I am that she was there helping me the whole way through.

    A massive thank you to Chris and Sally who were always available for me. I highly recommend Just Family Law if you are unfortunate enough to need a family lawyer. I had seen a generalist lawyer previously and they couldn't compare.

    AMAZING! Thank you so much to the team at JFL! A fabulous outcome for someone who was resistant to move through this process. It was daunting & exhausting to think about but my initial meeting with Chris reassured me that it was the right thing to do. From there on I liaised with Joe & Sally & I could not have asked for a better outcome. So personable & comforting during a time that is difficult at the best of times. Thank you for all your patience & understanding & most of all, for closing a chapter that could only be closed by doing what I had to do. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

    David and his team did an absolutely excellent job helping me get consent orders made. Great communication right from the first time I called. They understood my situation from the get go and I needed help immediately, they made time for me straight away. David was very patient listened to what I had to say and gave me all my options and I felt feeling so much better when I walked out of there after meeting him. He explained everything clearly and answered all my questions in regards to how long things would take to process and everything went through exactly as he had mentioned. Also he understood my financial situation and told me precisely how much it would cost. Absolutely thanking my stars for having got help from David and his team. You guys are awesome. Keep up the great work🌟 Thank you once again.

    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
