Spousal Maintenance

The financial maintenance of an individual post-separation is something we can advise you on. The necessity of spousal maintenance varies depending on your financial circumstances and that of your former partner or spouse. We can help you determine if you’re unsure if this would apply to your situation.

Mediation is a great dispute resolution option that can avoid the need for you to go to Court. We use the best-of-the-best mediators to assist you to settle your matter.

Litigation

Self Care through Separation

Self-Care is one thing that a lot of us don’t prioritise, but it is essential when going through a separation. The toll a separation takes on you not only affects you mentally, emotionally, and physically, but it affects how you are with your children and those around you. By enhancing your wellbeing, you allow yourself to be in a better headspace and feel genuinely nourished and healthier. This allows you to support yourself and your children along the journey. What fills everyone’s cup is different, which is why our bespoke client process allows us to individualise your self-care routine by connecting you with professions who are the right fit for you.
