Family law is one area that everyone recognises but what is a “family” is difficult to define. Families come in all shapes and sizes and can involve single parents and same sex parents as well as the more traditional arrangments.
 
Property settlements may be under Commonwealth law for married people or State law for de-facto couples. (Note: that this is destined to change with the Commonwealth requesting the States to cede their powers to legislate for de facto relationships so that all property matters will eventually be dealt with under Commonwealth law. 
  
Most children matters are dealt with under Commonwealth law except in guardianship issues which are regulated under State law. Family law is constantly evolving both through changes to the law and also through changes to Regulations. OUR LAWYERS - OUR CONVEYANCERS can help you through this maze when your relationship irretrievably breaks down and you are seeking the best possible outcome for your children as well as adjusting your property interests.
