Family Law Services Tailored for Your Needs
“Navigating family law matters can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. My goal is to provide compassionate, clear, and practical legal guidance so you can move forward with confidence.”
Tamara Tunnicliff, Principal Solicitor
Why Family Law Matters
Family law isn’t just about legal paperwork—it’s about making sure there are things put in place protecting your rights, your children, and your future.
Whether you’re going through a separation, working out parenting arrangements and financial settlements, or filing your divorce, having the right legal support can make all the difference.
I provide practical, personalised legal advice to help you make informed decisions during difficult times.
Your Family Law Support
My role is about protecting your future and ensuring stability during life’s big transitions.
Every family’s journey is different, and my compassionate, strategic approach ensures that your rights and interests are protected—now and into the future.
From handling the emotional challenges of separation to ensuring secure parenting arrangements and property settlements, I help clients make informed and real decisions that lead to practical, long-term solutions to help them move forward with their life.
Key Services
Children’s well-being is always the priority. I guide parents through:
- Creating realistic parenting plans or consent orders
- Resolving disputes around time spent and living arrangements
- Addressing complex issues like family violence or relocation
I assist with:
- Determining how property, superannuation, and debts should be fairly divided
- Drafting legally binding financial agreements
- Representing you in mediation or court proceedings
If you already reached an agreement, that’s fine too. I can also provide you with advice on it and draft an agreement for Orders to start putting it into place.
I can also assist you with doing those transactional tasks after the agreement has been signed or Orders made.
Some examples of these are: assisting in the transfer of ASX shares or company shares, superannuation splitting transfer of funds, talking with your accountant and mortgage broker, attending to the transfer of the property and even acting on the sale of the property and payment to the other party of settlement funds.
Filing for divorce can feel overwhelming, but I make the process straightforward by:
- Helping you meet legal requirements
- Preparing and lodging applications
- Resolving any outstanding financial and parenting matters connected to your divorce
If one party needs financial support after separation, I assist with:
- Assessing eligibility for maintenance
- Negotiating fair financial arrangements
- Representing you if an application is required
I also offer:
- Binding Financial Agreements – both before the commencement of cohabitation or marriage (Prenuptial), during the relationship, as well as after the parties have separated (Postnuptial)
- Mediation & dispute resolution assistance
