Yes. Divorce lawyers provide essential legal assistance for parenting matters (formerly referred to as child custody, which is now known as care of children or time with children under the Family Law Act).
At CG Legal, our experienced family lawyers in Brisbane assist with:
Legal advice on parental rights and responsibilities
Negotiation of parenting plans and visitation schedules
Mediation to reduce conflict and avoid unnecessary court procedures
Court representation in the Federal Circuit and Family Court, if required
Drafting binding parenting orders and modifications to reflect changing personal circumstances
Our focus is always on the best interests of your children while ensuring workable arrangements for both parents throughout the legal process.
Most property settlements begin with negotiation — either directly, with legal support, or through mediation. If an agreement is reached, it can be formalised quickly via:
Consent Orders, or
Binding Financial Agreements (which require independent legal advice)
If no agreement is possible, court proceedings may be required. During litigation:
Financial documents are exchanged
Valuations are arranged
Mediation is typically mandatory
If mediation fails, the court will hold a hearing and decide on a fair division of assets and liabilities.
If no agreement is possible, the Federal Circuit Court and Family Court of Australia will determine the outcome. Our Brisbane family law team assists with disclosure, valuations, negotiation and litigation where required, helping clients avoid unnecessary costs and resolve property settlement issues in a timely manner.
While it’s not legally required to have a lawyer for property settlements (except for Binding Financial Agreements), legal guidance is strongly recommended.
For Consent Orders: You can proceed without a lawyer, but legal advice ensures all assets are properly disclosed and the agreement is enforceable.
For Binding Financial Agreements: Both parties must have independent legal representation, with written confirmation of legal advice.
At CG Legal, we ensure your settlement is legally sound, tax-effective, and tailored to your needs — helping you avoid costly mistakes or future disputes.
To apply for divorce, one or both spouses must file an application with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia’s Commonwealth Courts Portal. You must show that the marriage has broken down irretrievably after 12 months of separation, even if you lived under the same roof.
Divorce proceedings are generally quite straightforward in Australia, unless there are any complicating factors. A marriage certificate, filing fee and divorce papers service for the other party are required, unless you are making a joint application. Once approved, the court issues a divorce order.
Mediation is a confidential process where a neutral mediator assists separated couples to reach agreements on family law issues such as property, parenting and financial matters. It avoids lengthy court procedures, reduces legal fees, and allows both parties to maintain control over outcomes.
Our family lawyers often attend mediations to provide guidance, ensuring agreements with your former partner reflect your legal rights and can be formalised as consent orders or parenting plans.
The Family Law Act requires courts to prioritise the best interests of the child. Factors include the benefit of a meaningful relationship with both parents, protection from family violence, and each parent’s ability to meet the child’s needs. The court also considers the child’s views, cultural background, and any special circumstances before making parenting orders tailored to the family’s situation.
