When family law issues arise, our dedicated team of lawyers do the utmost to assist you in finding the best possible outcome for your situation. Oftentimes, this can be achieved through avenues outside of the courtroom; these include settlement discussions, mediation, and other alternative dispute resolution options including arbitration.
However, in certain cases it is in a party’s best interests for a dispute to be settled in Court. Our family law litigation lawyers will guide you through the process from day one and have the vast experience necessary to comprehensively advocate for your case in the family court system.
Do you need a lawyer for family court?
It is not compulsory for you to have a lawyer in order to initiate or defend a case or claim in the family courts. Given the sensitive and complex nature of family law cases however, it is always recommended for you to engage a family law litigation expert to represent your interests, as well as those of your children and dependents.
Perhaps more so than any other area of law, family law cases bring about outcomes that have particularly personal and long-lasting implications on the various parties involved. Aside from the advantages of obtaining expert legal advice and guidance, a family law litigation expert can ensure that all the formalities of your legal suit are adhered to, from providing targeted, strategic affidavits, financial statements and disclosure; navigating all the various timeframes for each stage; and taking the correct strategy and knowing ‘where to dig’.
