At Wallbanks Legal we understand that relationship breakdown
causes enormous stress and uncertainty throughout the family and that it can be particularly hard
to address your legal needs in the middle of the human suffering of a family breakup.
We understand that you need to address the human issues as well as the legal issues associated with relationship breakdown.
It is important to remind yourself that you and your family are not alone in this experience. We have been through this ourselves - both as a parent and as a child.
We know that you will benefit from support that empowers you to get on with life while honouring yourself and those in your care.
It can really relieve stress and minimise costs if issues in relation to children and financial matters are addressed sooner rather than later.
Our experience is that once you can understand the process of how the legal system works in relation to the ending of your marriage or de facto relationship, how it affects the time children spend with parents and how relationship property is divided, you will be able to begin to better plan for the future.
We use all forms of alternative dispute resolution methods to help resolve your matter without recource to court proceedings - including Collaborative Law, informal negotiation, mediation and arbitration. Even if your matter cannot be resolved without court proceedings being commenced, the fact is that the Family Law Act court process relies heavily on dispute resolution and only about 5% of all cases commenced have to be decided at a final hearing.
Your long term satisfaction will depend most on how your matter is resolved. Issues concerning the ongoing welfare of children and financial issues such as the taxation and superannuation implications of your settlement have critical long term affect and need to be properly addressed in the terms of the settlement itself.
We can also refer you to other experts who work closely with us to assist our clients including:
