How can I benefit from your family lawyers in Melbourne free consultation?
Our family lawyers in Melbourne free consultation is an obligation-free opportunity for you to discuss your family law matter with one of our experienced lawyers. During the consultation, you will receive preliminary advice about your legal rights and options, get to know our team, and determine whether our services are the right fit for your needs. The rules governing the division of property between parties to a relationship, and the parenting of children of separating parties, are complicated, lengthy, and, for many clients, unclear and uncertain. Each family law matter is different, and each requires its own approach – there is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ in family law matters. There are also important considerations to advise clients, surrounding the risks of not completing a formal property settlement, or not obtaining parenting orders. Many people are unaware of the problems that can occur years down the track if they do not properly formalise their property division upon the breakdown of their relationship. Such problems in respect of financial matters include tax liability, spousal maintenance claims, claims for superannuation payments, and court proceedings for claims for property settlement. In some circumstances, there are also significant risks for parents who do not have parenting orders, where they are also not the primary carers of their children, and these include relocation by the primary carer, changes to contact arrangements, and refusal to provide the children for regular time. It is crucial that clients receive advice according to their own particular circumstances, and are given opportunities to be heard on their concerns and hopes in respect of a family law outcome. We strive to fully support our clients in this process and spend time understanding client concerns, in order to provide each client with advice that will promote their needs. Clients are the centre of our focus at Prompt Legal Services, and we aim to provide client-centred advice tailored to the individual circumstances of the client. Not all law firms take time to get to know their clients. We take a long-term view, and are rewarded with loyal clients who will be served by our firm for generations.

What is the process for filing for divorce in Melbourne, and how can a family lawyer help with the process?
Filing for divorce can be a confronting experience and for many, the prospect of finalising the marriage for all time is a daunting one that people tend to delay starting as a result. Like many things, divorce applications are completed online, directly through the family law court system. Despite this online offering, divorce applications are lengthy and cumbersome and prone to error for those who have no experience. Prompt Legal Services ensure this process is made as smooth and as simple as possible for the client. To begin a divorce application, we will require your original marriage certificate and 100 points of identification. Our lawyers will explain the various types of applications that can be made, the benefits and drawbacks of each, and advise as to whether court appearances will be required as a result of the type of application chosen.
-
What should I look for in a family law firm?
Prompt Legal Services consider firms working in the family law space should be, above all else, a firm of lawyers who are honest, respectful, dedicated, ethical, empathetic, tough, resilient, conscientious, hard-working, and thorough. Our family law team value client relationships and rise to the challenges of family law to promote their client’s needs and optimise their client’s options.

How can a family lawyer help with financial agreements and property settlements during a divorce or separation in Melbourne?
Those who try to navigate their own private agreements in property and financial matters following separation, leave themselves open to exploitation and error. Often, parties waste months on negotiating impossible outcomes, without coming to a final, acceptable, position. And in many instances, parties are much worse off for having tried. There is no substitute for early and thorough legal advice. We recommend parties try to ignore the advice of friends and family outside the family law field, and obtain advice as soon as possible on (or prior to) separation. Our family lawyers will answer questions and provide you with a path to follow which will assist to avoid mistakes and bad decisions that may be difficult to come back from.

What are my legal rights as a parent, and how can a family lawyer help me protect them in Melbourne?
In family law matters, the focus is on the rights and interests of the child/children, rather than those of the parents. Having said that, it is an assumption of the courts that children have the right to a close and meaningful relationship with both parents. If you are having difficulty spending time with and communicating with your child/children following separation, we welcome your queries and invite you to book a telephone consultation of up to 30 minutes at no charge, with our family law lawyers, for some initial advice.
