Hamersley Divorce Lawyer

In Australia the only ground for divorce that is required is that a marriage has been irretrievable broken down, that has been proven by 12 months of separations. This requirement has been in place since 1976.

Courts do not require evidence of the reasons for the breakdown of the marriage.

In Western Australia, divorce applications and settlements are usually determined separately from any other application about children or financial issues.

For property settlements or spousal maintenance documents to be valid the divorced people have to apply within 12 months.

Consulting a lawyer can ensure that you have all the right documents in the right place at the right time.

Children suffer
when they feel they are:

  • asked to choose between their parents
  • responsible for the conflict in the family
  • the ones who are caring for a family member who is not coping with the separation

Children take comfort in:

  • being shown that they are loved
  • not being involved in adult drama
  • having clear, age appropriate information about what is happening and when
  • being able to be a kid
  • feeling safe to talk about the other parent or family positively.

Hamersley Child Arrangement Lawyers

Decisions made regarding the degree of parental responsibility taken and a child’s living situation are some of the most important decisions parents and carers make. 

Children’s lives can be strongly impacted by the way adults behave towards them and each other that can influence their relationships in the future.

If you are making decisions for children, or supporting someone who is, ask yourself:

  • What will their lives be like as a consequence of this decision?
  • What will the children think of my behaviour when they are adults?
  • Am I making this decision for them, for me, or for someone else?

Finding the best solutions for your child

We help our clients identify the kind of relationship they want with the children and with the other adults in the family, reality test the proposals and develop rules of engagement between the adults for communicating and making decisions about children.

We take care to educate ourselves and our clients about modern parenting techniques and child development and will refer to our child specialist colleagues if a family needs therapeutic guidance, rather than a legal intervention.

If you are separating then redoing your Will is paramount.

We have had situations where the separated partner receives all the assets and life insurance from the unexpected death of their ex-partner.

This is not what the deceased partner and their family would have wanted.

Make sure you review your life insurance beneficiary’s and write a new Will when separating or divorcing.
