The Family Law Act 1975 ("the Act") removed the old grounds for divorce in Brisbane and replaced them with only 1 ground, that is, "the irretrievable breakdown" of the marital relationship. One of the reasons for this was to remove the concept of "fault" from the family law.
If married people separated for a period of 12 months, this is evidence of the irretrievable breakdown of the marital relationship which entitles either party (or both) to apply for a Divorce.Brisbane stationed lawyers are the natural next step after counselling no longer appears to be an option.

When deciding to move forward to go through a divorce, I wanted someone I can trust to help handle my case. And with no regrets, Levi Divorce and Family Law Attorneys fulfilled it. Michael Ganci was very helpful in the beginning of my process and through out. And working with Rikki Standberry, she is so helpful and she gave me a sense of peace and security. Never have I felt any stress when communicating with her. She was very responsive, and really helped me understand the process and ensured me that my case was being well taken care of. Their overall staff, are so polite and truly portrays professionalism

This firm has represented me for over 2 years now and I couldn’t be happier. Specifically, Michael Ganci has been my attorney. Michael is an absolute delight and manages to calm me down when I’m freaking out about about my case. He is great at what he does and you can tell that he loves it as well. My husband and I always tease that you never ever hear Michael raise his voice or get nervous in court. Even while other attorneys yell and scream, Michael always keeps his composure and always manages to get his point across without being rude or disrespectful.
My case won’t be over anytime soon

Mr. Ganci is a wonderful lawyer and man. He has been nothing but professional and understanding with me. I would absolutely recommend him and his firm to ANYONE going through divorce or custody, and I will definitely use him again if I ever have any similar issues in the future.
The man is a saint who even took time during his HONEYMOON to speak with me about my case, and I truly believe no other lawyer would have handled my case and concerns with such compassion.
He is a good lawyer and an even better person.
Thank you, Mr. Ganci. Thank you for everything you have done and currently still are

Going through a divorce is never a pleasant experience and finding the right attorney can make all the difference in the world. When the time came for me to find an attorney, I was overseas and didn’t have the luxury of setting up an appointment for a face to face meeting. Michael spent a good amount of time with me on the phone, he was clear, concise and very knowledgeable. Which are all important attributes in finding a good attorney, however more importantly during the conversation Michael put my mind to ease.
During the whole ordeal, Michael’s experience of the divorce laws, his knowledge

Michael Ganci has represented me on numerous occasions, I have nothing but the utmost repsect for him. I first worked with Michael a few years back during my divorce proceedings while he was at a different firm, I then sought him out again for a custody case, and a support hearing. He is extremely calm under pressure, which there was plenty of during my proceedings throughout the years. I have a hard time trusting people, Michael is one of very few people I trust. He has guided me through some very tough episodes. I would recommend Michael Ganci in a heartbeat!

After enduring a most unprofessional experience with another law firm, I researched and found Natalie Markfeld of Daniella Levi & Associates, P.C. I’m glad I did. From the moment I first consulted with Natalie, she impressed me not only with her professionalism but with her genuine interest in my case, which was somewhat unusual. She counseled me with respect to the law as well as strategy and followed up at every turn. Natalie was always honest with me and represented me well at every court appearance. My case is ongoing, and I am hopeful for a positive outcome when we return to court. Natalie

I have been so fortunate to have had Mrs. Natalie Markfeld and her colleagues as my lawyers for the past two years on an exceedingly difficult and complicated family law case. Their profound sensitively, constant professionalism, and driven passion to provide the most comprehensive counsel was comforting and guided my case towards the best possible outcome. Throughout the entire proceedings I felt not only that I was being represented by a very impressive team of lawyers but also by a group of people who really cared about me and about what was important to me. They were always available and supportive

This review is long overdue. But I found Daniella Levi & Associates when I needed help with a custody battle over my infant daughter last year. Natalie Markfeld was an amazing lawyer. She was a beast in the court room. I felt like she represented me well. She assertively fought for what was best for my daughter. After a long haul of multiple hearings, she ended the case with such positive results! The only thing I could say is that I wished communication was a little more consistent. Other than that, I was more than happy to have Natalie. She was even expecting her third child while my case was

I was very fortunate to have Natalie as my divorce attorney, she was extremely professional and attentive to every detail. I highly recommend her as well as the whole office. I’m sure that it’s hard to find an attorney who worked so hard in courts for the client that after my divorce is settled I can say I did not only developed a great relationship with my council but found a supportive friend. I could not find a better attorney to represent me and do the best for my case.

Having chosen Levi Divorce and Family Law attorneys to represent me in my daughter's custody and support case was the best decision I ever made. If you have the opportunity to choose Natalie Markfeld to follow your case do it because you are in good hands. Natalie is very smart, dedicated to her work, very prepared in every court’s case having the answer for everything. I always felt confident that she was going to win my cases and I wasn’t wrong. She did amazing ! Natalie is an excellent lawyer, very fair, defended my rights and especially cared about my daughter's well-being. Very professional
