Family Court and Family Law Lawyer Noble Park

Just Family Law are family law solicitors supporting individuals and families in Noble Park with care, clarity and experience. Whether you are ending a relationship, navigating parenting arrangements or dividing property, we are here to guide you with over 25 years of focused legal knowledge.

Divorce

Ending a marriage requires a court-issued divorce order. While the paperwork may seem simple, there are often legal and emotional layers that go beyond the form itself. A family court lawyer in Noble Park can guide you through the process while helping you consider related issues like property division and child arrangements.

To file for divorce, you must have been separated for at least 12 months. If you remained under the same roof, extra evidence will be required. Once the application is submitted, your former spouse must be served the documents at least 28 days before the court date.

If children under 18 are involved, the Court will seek confirmation that they are properly cared for. Common follow-on steps after divorce include:

  • Property and financial settlement
  • Parenting agreements
  • Reviewing your will

Property and Financial Settlement

Ending a relationship involves untangling more than emotions. You also need to separate finances clearly and fairly. Without a proper settlement, your former partner may still have influence over shared assets or liabilities.

At Just Family Law, a trusted family law lawyer in Noble Park can support you in resolving financial disputes and securing an outcome that reflects your contributions and future needs.

Negotiation and mediation are typically required before going to court. Having a family court lawyer in Noble Park helps ensure your case is well-prepared and grounded in what a judge would likely consider fair.

Matters where expert help is crucial include:

  • Significant inheritances or family contributions
  • Businesses or shared ownership disputes
  • Complex trust structures or hidden assets
  • Financial control or concealment
  • Third-party involvement

Children’s Arrangements

Deciding what is best for your children after a separation is one of the hardest parts. Emotions run high, but it is essential to make decisions that protect your children’s wellbeing and future. Even cooperative parents may disagree over:

  • Parenting approaches
  • Overnight stays or shared time
  • Schooling preferences
  • Holiday arrangements and special occasions

More serious concerns we regularly assist with include:

  • Family violence or safety risks
  • Relocation proposals
  • Substance misuse or mental health concerns
  • Disputes about responsibility or care

A family law lawyer in Noble Park from our team can support you through negotiations or court proceedings, helping to structure parenting arrangements that reflect the law’s focus on meaningful relationships with both parents.

Mediation is the first step in most parenting matters. If this does not lead to agreement, court orders may be needed. Our team prepares all documents and guides you through each stage with care and insight.

    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.
