✨✨Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums—
💕The ones raising little ones, guiding grown-ups, loving from near or far.
💕To the step-mums, grandmothers, aunties, and chosen mums.
💕To those missing their mums, or holding space for complex feelings today.

You are seen, loved, and appreciated.
Here’s to the strength, care, and endless love you give—today and every day.

✨✨Like autumn leaves, sometimes we have to let go to make space for something new.
Separating isn’t the end — it’s a season of change, of shedding the old and letting go to reveal strength, clarity and the color beneath.

This is your season of becoming — lighter, freer, and more you than ever before.

✨✨International Women’s Day 2025: For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.

The UN’s theme “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.” reminds us that true progress leaves no one behind. Every woman and girl—regardless of race, age, ability, geography, or circumstance—deserves the fullness of dignity, opportunity, and voice.

Today, we celebrate the champions who’ve broken barriers and the quiet heroes whose daily courage sustains communities. We recognise that when we invest in women and girls, we invest in humanity’s brightest future.

The path to true equality requires all of us—standing together, speaking up, and taking action. Because a world where ALL women and girls can thrive is a world where everyone benefits.

✨✨Congratulations to the new Victorian Women Lawyers President for 2025, Linda Hart 🙌🙌

For 2025, Sounita will be taking a break from her board duties and decided not to re-nominate for a board position to pave way and allow others the opportunity to part of an organisation that aims to assist women lawyers to achieve a satisfying and successful life. It was a stellar year for VWL and Sounita thanks the Executive team in 2024 for the wonderful friendships & connection!

🕊Extending the olive branch: Parenting in general is hard work. There are challenges for parents no matter the ages of your children. Now consider parenting with your ex partner after a separation, well that can also can be challenging.

It is normal for parents to disagree sometimes, however, high levels of conflict and animosity between parents places children at a greater risk of developing emotional, social and behavioural problems, as well as having difficulties with concentration and educational achievement.

The research also shows that high levels of conflict can be harmful causing them to develop the following problems as adults:

➡️Anxiety & depression
➡️Alcoholic & drug issue
➡️Interpersonal relationships that are not stable

Co-parenting for people may not be an option but for some where it’s possible, give it a go, extend that olive branch, put your differences aside, think of your children first, elevate their needs over your own and put an end to the ongoing conflict.

⏰Timing, when to get help? We get it, there are many of you who don’t want to see a lawyer or wish to wait until the dust settles before getting advice. You might trying to work it all out on your own because you’re afraid of the costs!

We get it, it not easy to approach a lawyer, so in our experience, we think you should see a lawyer when it feels right and when you’re ready. Every separation is different, so do what is right for you and perhaps take what your friends and family might say to you with a grain of salt, we know they come from a good place they’re just not qualified.

When you are ready, we can help you as a lawyer for you, or as a mediator to help both you and your ex-partner to separate better and smarter, saving you money and time.

We offer value pricing, so your fees will be fixed for each stage of work. We can also offer other pricing methods if you are really against value pricing.

Sometimes, choosing to separate in way that’s fair, reasonable & empathetic is not an option due to family violence or high conflict situations, please note we’re here to help the majority of Australians who seek out-of-court settlements.

✨✨FAIR SETTLEMENTS: We often have clients come to us seeking our advice and expert opinion about whether their settlement proposal for a division of assets is fair. They often do this because they want their children to live comfortably with their ex-partner and/or wish to stay on friendly terms for the sake of their children. These clients also want to stay out of court, so if it means compromising, they will do just that!
