We have a policy of being upfront with our clients as far as money matters are concerned include a cost estimate in advance as possible.

We ensure that you have a full understanding of fees and how we operate so there are no nasty surprises.

Of course it is impossible to provide you with precise total costs at the outset but we can estimate from month to month how much work is to be done based on circumstances at the time.

The best way to find out about the costs involved in your particular case is to book an obligation free initial consultation to discuss your options.

The consultation provides the following:

  • – Taking necessary information regarding your matter;
  • – Providing preliminary advice regarding:
  • – Property distribution and entitlements;
  • – Spousal maintenance;
  • – Child support and maintenance;
  • – Spending time with children;
  • – Personal protection orders;
  • – De facto relationship issues;
  • – Financial agreements;
  • – Implementation of orders;
  • – Such other family or de facto relationship issues you wish to discuss; and
