.01
Wills and Estates
Regardless of whether you simply own one car, or ten and have a multimillion dollar investment portfolio, when commencing, or ending, a relationship it is important to consider what would happen to your estate if you were to pass away. Moreover, it is important to consider who you would want to be in charge (inside or outside your family) of managing your financial affairs and decisions regarding your health and wellbeing should you ever be unable to make such decisions yourself.
.02
Marriage and De-facto Relationships
Our law firm can assist in relation to all areas of family law, including those which involve a marriage or de facto relationship, whether the parties are of the same sex or not. Our firm, based in sydney nsw, can assist with the preparation of enforceable pre-nuptial agreements, or the de facto equivalent, namely binding financial agreements. Your family lawyer will be an expert solicitor who will have experience in effective resolution of disputes.
.03
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.
.04
Parenting
Separated with children – where to now Rafton Family Lawyers understands the impact of separation on children in the family 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
.05
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.
