At Whitelaw Legal Group, our expert family lawyers in Tasmania are here to support you through challenging times.
Our family lawyers provide tailored solutions to resolve your disputes efficiently and with minimal stress. We guide you through every step, ensuring a fair and cost-effective resolution. We offer:
Under the Family Law Act, there are ways to resolve and settle property disputes out of court using binding financial agreements. However, in more complex cases, we will encourage the parties to agree on a set of final consent orders and then apply to the Court to review and approve them as orders of the court.
Divorce and de facto relationship breakups are common and emotionally charged. Early access to competent, balanced advice is crucial and can significantly impact outcomes. We caution against rushing into aggressive legal battles, which can be costly, time-consuming, and stressful. Instead, we focus on finding the best path forward for you.
Family courts are often overwhelmed, leading to substantial delays in resolving cases. By focusing on negotiation, mediation, and other out-of-court resolutions, we help you avoid the time, expense, and stress of litigation. Most experienced judges and lawyers recommend going to court as a last resort, and we fully support this approach.
On 14th of December 2017, the following headline appeared in the Australian newspaper “Judge slams obscene legal fees”. A family court judge criticised some lawyers for charging exorbitant fees and pursuing a “win at all costs” approach. This destructive mindset often harms the emotional, social, and financial well-being of families. At Whitelaw Legal Group, we are committed to a different approach—one that prioritises resolution and collaboration over costly court battles.
Our method involves an 8-step system with a timeline of 6-8 weeks and average cost of $2,500 – 5,000.
