Family Law
At Steele+Co we understand the stress that partner separation can cause. Our focus is on a timely, cost effective resolution to your matter, aimed at avoiding litigation.
Our team handle property and financial matters for married or de facto couples, and we aim for commitment from all parties with a respectful and cost effective approach.
When a relationship breaks down, disputes about where a child will live, or when they will spend time with the non-resident parent, can be difficult and highly emotive. We understand the importance of a child-focused approach with parenting matters and encourage consent orders to ensure the best welfare for all concerned.
Child support allows for the ongoing financial care of children following the end of the parents’ relationship. It recognises the costs and responsibilities of raising children, and is managed through a child support agreement or agency assessment.
Following a relationship breakdown, one party may end up not being able to support themselves financially. Spousal maintenance is the provision of ongoing financial support to a former partner.
A divorce allows for the legal dissolution of a marriage. Divorce applications involve certain timeframes and obligations under Family Law.
