Family Law

Separating from your partner is often the most difficult time in your life, when emotions run high and managing the practicalities can be challenging. Halcyon Legal can help lift this burden, guiding and supporting you through parenting arrangements, property settlements, child support queries, spousal maintenance matters, divorce, and Intervention Orders. We do not accept matters in any other area of law, because we believe that the best work is done when you limit your focus to a niche area of expertise.

Whilst Halcyon Legal prioritises a collaborative approach to family law, there are times when agreement simply can't be reached despite best efforts. People will always have a variety of motivations and beliefs underlying their position in a family law matter, and we believe that progress is best achieved when the effort is made to explore these. We want to know everything you know about your former partner, because it will help us to negotiate with them most effectively. Family law correspondence should, in our view, always be drafted for a particular audience, not generically. 

When consent can't be reached out of court, we will present your case effectively to the court and help you to focus on the issues that the court will be most interested in. We brief only a small, select number of Barristers for our matters, and we know who will best suit your particular matter. Halcyon Legal will work closely with Counsel once your proceedings commence, and ensure that there is good, clear communication between clients and Counsel about the matter. We believe that a family law client should know exactly what to expect when a court date is upcoming, and should have input into, and visibility of, the work being done on their behalf.

We are experienced in all types of family law matters and we can advise you as to the most effective and efficient way to achieve the best outcome.
