We know that meeting the needs of your children during separation or divorce can be a difficult challenge. Issues might include parental and grandparental access, where your children will live, school choices, and how the children will celebrate special events. As knowledgable lawyers for child custody family law in Australia, we'll listen to you and give you clear advice.
It's the legal responsibility of both parents to financially support their children during separation or divorce. Child support is the amount to be paid by you or your former partner. A binding child support agreement can be agreed between you, or it can be assessed by the Child Support Agency using a statutory formula.
Maintenance is the financial support that is provided to a former partner following separation or divorce; it can be applied for if you were married or in a de facto relationship. You can apply for spousal maintenance as part of your property settlement proceedings or as a separate application.
How long you should receive maintenance for is worked out on the basis of these two questions, but also on other factors including your age, health, capacity to work and whether you're looking after children.If you urgently need financial support you can make an application for urgent spousal maintenance.

Extremely happy with the service provided by Swan Family Lawyers. Affordable, effective service, fast outcome and very professional as a whole. We used a lawyer there by the name Dajana. I would highly recommend her as she was the best lawyer we’ve ever used before. We’ve been through so many from other companies that weren’t great but she stands apart at the top. Thank you so much for providing an excellent result in our case.
