Wheeler Family Law assists clients with all legal issues that arise following, or leading up to, separation. If you have children under 18, then there will need to be parenting arrangements put in place and child support may be payable. If you and/or your partner have any assets, then a property settlement will need to be negotiated that is fair and reasonable.
There may be a need for protection from physical, verbal or emotional abuse. You may also need to consider whether spousal maintenance is applicable. If you are married, then you may eventually want to consider a divorce. Whether you have already separated, or are going through a difficult time in your relationship and separation may be on the horizon, we are happy to assist.

With expertise and experience in parenting and custody disputes, property divisions and financial settlements, family violence and intervention orders ("IVO"/"AVO"), Wheeler Family Law will ensure your best interests are protected as you navigate through the effects of separation and/or divorce.
If you are separated and have children, then you will need to put arrangements in place for the care of your children. The fundamental principle in parenting (custody) matters is the best interests of your children, balanced with the need to protect them from harm.
Parenting arrangements are best when they can be resolved amicably through negotiations, which can often include the help of a mediator, and then formalised with the help of solicitors.However, this is not always possible, so there are a range of options to explore, both outside of formal Court proceedings, and also once proceedings have been commenced in Court.

The division of the assets of a relationship can be very stressful, particularly where both parties need as much as possible to survive post-separation. However, it is often a good idea to get early advice on the process for achieving a property settlement and on the range of entitlements, to better equip and empower you to move on with life at the earliest possible stage, minimising stress and expense.
Wheeler Family Law can assist with all aspects of dealing with a separation, whether you are in the early stages and just wanting some helpful advice to enable you to make a decision, or whether you have settled your property matters and are just wanting to make it binding, or even just wanting to get the divorce finalised.
The definition of family violence (or domestic violence) is very broad, and includes physical violence, but also includes violence that is verbal, emotional and/or financial, for example. Wheeler Family Law assists clients dealing with all types of family violence and domestic violence, ensuring that you and your children are best protected, as well as reducing the risk of ongoing family violence.

I can not thank Kai enough, over the past 6 months Kai has gone above and beyond to help me. After seeing a few lawyers, Kai made me feel the most comfortable. He was very honest and upfront with every step and compared to other places is very fairly priced. I would highly recommend Kai and Wheelers family law to anyone seeking help!

Thank you so much to Kai for his patience, understanding and concerted effort to guide me through the difficult process of separation. Kai's support has been nothing short of outstanding and he is truly an exemplary member of the legal profession. I would have absolutely no hesitation in engaging Kai to assist with legal matters in the future, nor in recommending his services to anyone else who might need them.

Finding a lawyer for family law, in my case property matters due to separation, is very stressful and scary. Kai Martin was amazing. He was not only really professional and knowledgeable, but had excellent communication and I always felt included. Kai was very reasonably priced. I would recommend Wheeler Family Law to anyone looking for great, professional and caring legal representation.

A very genuine and caring lawyer. I have met many lawyers when I have gone to court with people and some seem to be more about the process than the people involved. Andrew Wheeler is definitely people focussed and I wish him a very long and successful time in Dandenong serving the people here who need good and honest legal advice.
