Our Offices
Services
At Rafton Family Lawyers our team is ready to assist you with any family law matter, whether you are contemplating partnering, separating, parenting or a property settlement. Our team also specialises in wills and estates.

Marriage and De-facto Relationships
Rafton Family Lawyers can assist in relation to all family structures, including those which involve a marriage or de facto relationship, whether the parties are of the same sex or not. Our firm can assist with the preparation of enforceable pre-nuptial agreements, or the de facto equivalent, namely binding financial agreements.
Separation
Like many other things in life, our firm recognises that sometimes relationships do not go as planned, and you can find yourself stuck in a bind at times. We can also help with this. Our firm recognises that no two relationships are the same and we have successfully applied for divorce between parties who have been married for just weeks, as well as those who have been married for decades. No matter how long your relationship was, our team are ready to advise you in relation to separation, divorce and the many other implications which often accompany such a decision, depending on your circumstances.
Parenting
Separated with children – where to now?
Rafton Family Lawyers understands the impact of separation on children and can work with you to negotiate a parenting plan or parenting arrangements with your spouse, to ensure that the impact of separation on your children is minimal. Whether you and your partner already have an agreement or are able to come to an agreement through negotiations with us, we are able to prepare and file Consent Orders, which essentially finalise the matter of parenting and provide a legally enforceable plan moving forward.
Property
When a relationship ends, there is often property which is either owned by one or both parties. The length of the relationship and other circumstances dictate what each party is entitled to retain upon separation. These circumstances are provided in the Family Law Act 1975 and other relevant case law. The law and its application to your circumstances can be explained in every day terms by one of our friendly team members.
Here at Rafton Family Lawyers we are committed to delivering the best quality service to you, at the most affordable price. We do this by providing honest, thorough and reliable legal advice from day one.
