Family Law
Relationship breakdowns can be very traumatic. It is vital that
you obtain early reliable advice. We assist you to move forward
with your life in a sympathetic and sensible fashion. One of the
firm’s partners, Maryanne Ofner,
is a very experienced accredited specialist in this area.
Maryanne assists clients resolve issues without litigation if
possible by using mediation, counselling and other collaborative
options. This minimises expense and reduces acrimony. At times,
a firm approach is required and Maryanne is able to effectively
prepare the evidence required and source appropriate barristers
if necessary to ensure that your rights are safeguarded. We can
act swiftly should circumstances arise that need urgent action
such as dissipation of assets or a threatened abduction.
Each case is unique and is considered individually. What is
appropriate for one set of circumstances may not suit another.
Maryanne will identify the options for you so you can proceed in
the most cost effective fashion.
When a property is to be sold we are happy to have our fees paid
upon completion of the sale out of the matrimonial pool if you
are unable to finance your matter.
Preventative measures are increasingly important. Maryanne is
able to advise on and draft financial agreements prior to and
during the marriage which have the effect of eliminating
uncertainty and litigation should the relationship break down.
