Separation and divorce are life changing events that can have a dramatic effect on your emotional and financial wellbeing. When a couple separates, there are often immediate decisions that need to be made in relation to finances and children. There are also long term decisions that need to be made in relation to finances and children.
When parties to a marriage or de facto relationship have separated, or are contemplating separating, one of the most commonly asked questions is "how will our property be divided?" Whilst each case is unique, there is a process with different stages which Family Lawyers work through in assessing the entitlements of separating couples.
Child Support can be confusing and it is often an area of concern to many separating parents.

She has been a constant support throughout the whole process, I have confidence in her ability to get the job done whilst having my best interest at heart.
I would highly recommended Deborah and her team.

I went through a very ugly and unfortunate legal battle. I had started my proceedings with another firm which almost sent me broke, I was forced to represent myself for near 12 months, I met with Rowena for a brief consultation on a single matter I was unsure about.
Rowena very efficiently advised me on my query and we had 15 minutes to spare, I explained in brief my case, i left that day feeling an immense relief after being able to talk to someone who clearly understood my story. I continued for a few months self representing and closing in on my final hearing it became to much for me, I contacted

With the assistance of Doolan Callaghan I recently was able to secure favourable Interim Consent Orders to see my 2yo boy. I can't begin to describe how important the approach taken by the Firm was in achieving this outcome. Clear, concise, methodical, and low-conflict. I had previously sought opinions from several firms and Doolan Callaghan was the clear winner providing me with a 30 year veteran in Family Law with a well reasoned and logical approach. At every point I was advised clearly and had any questions answered virtually straight away. The fees are also very reasonable. I cannot recommend

When I separated, I was referred to Doolan Callaghan Family Lawyers and found that they knew exactly what they were doing and their down to earth approach resulted in quite an amicable divorce which was perfect for me.
