One of the most rewarding parts of family law is watching people realise they are going to be okay.

Not immediately, but one day… they can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

And that's a beautiful thing 🤍

Before you tell anyone you’re separating, do these 5 things.

This isn’t about being adversarial. It’s about being informed. If things stay amicable, you’ve lost nothing. If they don’t, you’ve protected yourself.

Save this for someone who might need it one day 🙏🏼

One of the biggest things we hear is... “I can’t leave… I can’t afford to.”

But many people don’t realise that in some situations, there may be options available, including spousal maintenance.

Spousal maintenance is financial support that may be payable by one former spouse or de facto partner to the other where one person cannot adequately support themselves and the other has capacity to contribute.

This can be especially relevant where:
• you’ve been out of the workforce
• you’re caring for children
• your earning capacity has reduced
• separation feels financially overwhelming

It isn’t automatic. Every situation is different. But fear of finances shouldn’t stop you from understanding your options.

If this sounds familiar, reach out. Even one conversation can help you understand where you stand.

DM us "OPTIONS" for a FREE brochure on spousal maintenance.

A lot of people assume a property settlement is just about who keeps the house. It’s much broader than that, and the things people forget to include are often the things that matter most years later.

A property settlement covers:
→ Real estate
→ Savings and investments
→ Superannuation
→ Businesses, farms, SMSFs
→ Vehicles
→ Debts and mortgages
→ Inheritances received during the relationship

Save this so you know what to bring to your first consult.

You’ve talked it through. You’ve reached an agreement. You’re both ready to move on. But if it isn’t formalised, it isn’t finished.

Informal agreements after separation, even the most amicable ones, don’t carry legal weight. That means a former partner can still make a claim on your assets months or years down the track, including new property, inheritances and investments you’ve built since.

Consent Orders or a Binding Financial Agreement is what actually closes the chapter. It protects what you’ve worked for, removes future uncertainty, and gives both of you the freedom to move forward properly.

We offer fixed fee property Consent Orders to guide you through the process from start to finish.

“Yep. I’ve been separated and divorced. Twice.”

Our Principal Lawyer, Allison Rowe, knows that separation isn’t just legal, it’s deeply personal.

There can be so much shame, guilt or pressure attached to relationship breakdowns, especially when people feel like they should have “made it work”. But life is rarely that simple.

Separation and divorce do not define your worth, your success, or your future. Sometimes they are the hardest decisions, and sometimes they are the beginning of something better.

This is your reminder that you do not need to hide your story. Own it. Learn from it. Move forward in a way that feels right for you.

If you’re navigating separation and need practical, compassionate family law support, we’re here to help.
