Cohabitation Agreements (also known as "pre-nups" and "lifestyle agreements") are a type of Binding Financial Agreement. The general purpose of these agreements is to legally bind the parties to a relationship or marriage as to how they are going to conduct themselves financially. They are also intended to pre-plan how finances are to be split in the event of relationship or marriage breakdown.
You and your spouse are Australian Citizens or Residents or regard Australia as your permanent home. There are some other special conditions that you need to satisfy if you have been married for less than two years, or if you want to have your marriage annulled.
If you do Divorce your spouse, it is very important that you reach a property settlement agreement with your spouse (with such agreement to be formalised by way of Binding Financial Agreement or Consent Orders), or apply to the Court for a property settlement, within 12 months after your Divorce.If you do not, you will lose your right to ask the Court for a property settlement, and this may cause you great financial hardship.

Child Support is about ensuring that separated couples and their children enjoy a similar standard of living in both households and that children are financially supported by both of their parents, regardless of how much time they might spend with either parent. The Child Support Agency ("the Agency") is the Federal Government department that oversees who pays child support, and how much.

Sue and her team have made it possible for me to see my daughter again! I started lightly, as in self represented myself for a while and used Sue and her firm as consultants which saved money at the start right upto before the Mediation and when things started getting "real" then I engaged Sue and Freedom Law full time to make sure the best possible outcomes could be achieved without baggage of any mistakes I may have made self representating. They are extremely professional and during a few dark times when I was fed up and thinking to give up, she turned me around and reminded me of my daughter

My Partner and I needed some urgent advice... Sue was more than helpful and really eased our minds after having another consultation with another local law firm, who not only charged us an arm and a leg (upfront), but didn't give any relevant advice nor seemed to care.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Sue and the Team, unbelievable service.

Sue and all the admin staff were unbelievably supportive, knowledgeable and kind through the whole process.
When bad things happen in life and you are stressed out and down you need honest and reliable help with no judgement. I honestly highly recommend this firm for any matter.
I felt really listened too and that my matter was very important.
Thanks again Sue for your much needed help.

Sue Stannett is representing a friend of mine through his marriage separation and as this also involves the custody of his 2 boys, compassion and understanding is very important in this instance and Sue has no trouble at all with making her clients feel comfortable to be able to explain or just talk about normally very touchy subjects as she has such an understanding and caring nature. We both would highly recommend Sue and have no hesitations in having Sue represent us in the future.

Sue and her nominated barrister represented me at a family law trial a little over a month ago. I had requested a fixed fee from Sue to both prepare and represent me at trial. Sue is a lovely person, but unfortunately Sue and her barrister were significantly unprepared on trial day and consequently were outgunned by a single solicitor from the other side. As a result, the outcome of the trial was far less than I desired.

Having Sue's support and advice has been absolutely invaluable. I walk away from every meeting feeling empowered, confident and positive. Sue's knowledge of family law is surpassed only by her ability to understand and empathise with the unique needs of my children. I completely trust Sue to advocate for our family and return the best outcome possible.
