Family Law Blog

Family Law
John Bui
/
12 July 22

A family law blog helps readers who are seeking information about their family law matters. Due to technological advancements, law firms have been opting for digitalised articles and publications for readers. A family law blog can cover many family law topics like:

  • Divorce/Separation
  • Parent & Children Matters
  • Property Settlements And Assets
  • Family Violence and Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs)
  • Binding Financial Agreements
  • Wills and Estate Planning
  • Mediation And Arbitration

Legal information and legal advice differ from each other. Generally, non-qualified people can provide legal information like basic law proceedings. A family law blog is a perfect example of a source that provides legal information.

On the other hand, a lawyer can only provide legal advice. Clients will need legal advice tailored to their needs. This family law blog will go into further detail about each of these topics below. 

Family Law Blog On Divorce/Separation

Breakups and ending a marriage can be one of the most emotional and stressful times a person can experience. This is because divorce and separation can strain future relationships, especially when it involves children. However, there are differences between divorce and separation.

Separation is generally the idea of ending a romantic relationship. This also applies to de facto couples who don’t want to live together anymore. A couple can remain separated while living under one roof, however, they must show proof of the separation. 

In contrast, couples who want to formally and legally end their marriage can get a divorce. This will involve a number of documents and paperwork. Obtaining a divorce will require couples to be separated for 12 months. It’s important to seek a lawyer’s advice as divorce can lead to property settlements and children matters. Find more of our family law blog on divorce/separation below.

Family Law Blog On Parent And Children Matters

Child support and child custody are involved in parenting and children matters. Parents should be responsible and capable of taking care of the children in their families. Hence, parents have the duty to pay child support which involves regular financial payments for a child’s basic needs. On the other hand, child custody legally means having care and control of children. Here are the types of child custody:

  • Sole Custody
  • Joint Custody

Child custody lawyers typically handle custody disputes and arrangements. They can also help when a parent is planning to move away with a child without the other parent’s consent. Read our family law blog about parenting matters below.

Property Settlement And Division Of Assets

Following a divorce or separation, couples would want to know how their assets will be divided. Also, separated or divorced couples would want to know how much they will receive. Proper asset divisions will involve the court looking into the financial and non-financial contributions of both couples. 

It is indeed time-consuming for courts to identify the financial contributions that a couple put into their property. However, a couple that kept receipts and a record of their finances may help in identifying their financial contributions.

On the other hand, non-financial contributions can be more difficult to identify. Non-financial contributions can include instances such as a party fixing the roof of the marital home because of a storm. Consequently, the party should get the estimated costs of the materials and how the roof increases the property’s value. 

Non-financial contributions can also include the time and effort spent in looking after the children of the marriage.

Importantly, the future needs of each partner are essential in property settlements and asset division. Find our family law blog on property settlement and assets below for more information.

Family Violence and AVOs

Family violence is the use of abusive or violent behaviour that causes harm to a family member. This appalling behaviour can occur anytime, and anywhere in the household. While everyone is susceptible to family violence, statistics show that women experience them more often than men. 

Moreover, children are also susceptible to family violence. Apprehended violence orders (AVOs) are used to keep a violent individual away from a person. This essentially works like a restraining order. Read more of our family law blog on family violence below.

Binding Financial Agreements

Married or de facto couples can enter into binding financial agreements. This is sometimes known as a prenuptial agreement. This agreement states how a couple’s assets will be divided in the event of a relationship breakdown. Also, this agreement is similar to a contract that outlines property division between parties. Read more of our family law blog on binding financial agreements below.

Wills And Estate Planning

It’s highly advised that everyone should prepare a Will that explains their intentions. Furthermore, a Will dictates the division of assets and properties for designated beneficiaries. Find more of our family law blog about Wills and Estate planning below.

Our Family Law Blog On Mediation and Arbitration

We finally get to one of the most important sections of this family law blog which is mediation. Family law matters are settled most of the time with mediation. This involves a solicitor acting as a third party in a family dispute resolution session and mediating the situation. Indeed, couples opt for mediation as this is more cost-efficient rather than going through expensive court procedures.

Our family law blog highlights a lot about family law and its possible disputes. Hence, JB Solicitors can provide expert legal advice tailored to a client’s legal matters in family law. Moreover, our firm has won multiple awards that reflect our firm’s experience and credibility. We also have fixed fees for our clients so they can obtain the best possible legal advice for their family law matters.
