Navigating family law can be one of the most challenging experiences in life. From asset division to child custody, the legal aspects of family breakdowns are emotionally charged and legally complex. Carbone Lawyers understands these challenges, bringing decades of family law expertise to help clients manage difficult transitions with clarity, compassion, and a strategic approach to achieve fair outcomes.

If you’re wondering how a family lawyer can help you, below is an overview of our comprehensive family law services, and how our commitment to out-of-court resolutions and client-centred guidance sets us apart.

How Carbone Lawyers Supports You Through Family Law Challenges

Family law issues often bring both legal and personal complexities, impacting everything from finances to family dynamics. We offer support across many types of family law, including asset protection, custody arrangements, spousal maintenance, and more. Our goal is to provide practical solutions with empathy, allowing you to make informed decisions that prioritise your well-being.

Compassionate Guidance Through Every Step

We know that family law matters aren’t just legal, they’re personal. Our team approaches every case with an understanding of the emotional stakes involved. Whether assisting with property settlements or guiding clients through divorce, we bring a supportive, human touch to each matter.

Focused on Out-of-Court Solutions

Lengthy court proceedings can drain clients both financially and emotionally. We prioritise out-of-court settlements wherever possible, utilising strategic negotiation to achieve fair results without the cost and stress of litigation. While we are prepared to advocate for you in court if needed, our negotiation-focused approach typically results in faster, less costly resolutions.

Securing a Fair Division of Assets in Family Law Matters

Property division is often a central issue in family law cases, particularly when significant assets are involved. We specialise in high-value settlements, ensuring that your financial interests are protected through a balanced, strategic approach.

Expert Guidance on Property and Financial Settlements

Our family law lawyers have extensive experience handling complex financial settlements, including the division of family homes, businesses, shares, superannuation, and other assets. We understand the unique considerations of high-net-worth cases and work to secure your assets through clear, strategic advice that considers your future financial security.

How the Law Approaches Asset Division

Under the Family Law Act 1975 (Federal Register of Legislation), there is no strict 50/50 rule for dividing assets after separation. Instead, asset division is based on a range of factors, including each party’s contributions, the length of the relationship, and future financial needs. Our lawyers use this framework to guide you through a fair, personalised settlement, addressing unique circumstances that impact each party’s financial standing.

Additional Family Law Support for Your Unique Needs

Beyond property and financial settlements, we offer comprehensive support in other areas of family law, providing the insight and adaptability needed to manage a variety of family issues.

Parenting and Custodial Arrangements

When children are involved, their welfare is paramount. Our team helps clients establish child-centred custody and visitation arrangements, always keeping the best interests of the children as the top priority.

Spousal and Child Support

Financial support is often a critical factor in family law. We provide clear guidance on both spousal and child support, assisting clients in establishing fair, sustainable financial arrangements post-separation.

Protection Orders and Appeals

In situations where safety is a concern, we can assist with intervention orders, offering protection and peace of mind. Additionally, we support clients with appeals, representing them when initial court decisions need to be re-evaluated to reach a fair outcome.

Taking the First Step Towards Resolution

Family law matters require not only legal expertise, but also a compassionate approach that recognises the personal impact of each case. With Carbone Lawyers, you’ll find a team that combines legal knowledge with empathy, prioritising your financial and emotional well-being.

From protecting your assets to establishing fair custodial arrangements, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.
