How our services can help you
Helping you take the right next step
It is important that you consider and understand the potential consequences of your decisions and actions when involved in litigation through the Family Court, our advisory service can help you act with a structured strategy and purpose every step of the way.

We’re here to help you pause, reflect, and find clarity as you navigate the emotional, practical, and legal challenges that divorce and separation bring to you and your family.
Are you involved in a Family Court case?

Do you want to build your understanding of child contact disputes?
Whether you’re already involved in complex child proceedings or considering making an application to the Family Court, we help you demystify the process and support you in making the right decisions at the right time.
UNDERSTANDING CHILD WELFARE & THE FAMILY COURT
THE WELFARE ASSESSMENT
When involved in child litigation, it can be difficult making the translation between your child’s lived experience during the relationship or marriage, and how your child’s welfare is evaluated theoretically to consider hypothetical long-term living and contact arrangements – which is ultimately the primary concern of the Family Court.
We can help you consider this translation in the context of your circumstances and specific case – which is necessary in order to craft a credible strategy that you can advocate for and defend before a Family Court Judge.
why our advisory service is unique
We are cost effective.
We use first-hand experience of navigating disputes through the Family Court. We believe the vast majority of litigants can be guided through even the most complex of Family Court cases with cost-effective advice from our experienced team, reducing the financial burden that can be associated with litigation through the Family Court.
We understand how you feel.
We have been there. We understand the anxiety and stress that you carry before and during Family Court cases, especially those that are pro-longed. We offer a level headed approach to ensure your emotion is channelled in the right way so it can positively affect the outcome of your case – by being strategic every step of the way.
We operate with genuineness.
Our primary purpose is to help you and your family achieve an outcome through the Family Court that is in the best interests of your child, and you as a parent – without creating additional stress, financially. We operate in an ethical manner, and are committed to bringing advice and support without the heavy burden of financial stress if it is avoidable. We understand how you feel, and we want justice for you and your child. It is that simple.
Why strategy matters.
We believe many litigants are advised poorly before and during proceedings and many litigants do not understand how a carefully considered approach from start-to-finish can make winning a case in the interests of your child significantly more likely – with lengthy and unnecessary litigation.
We help uncover the ‘battleground’ of your case – through the eyes of a Judge.
Where will your case be won and lost? How can you translate your family’s ‘lived experience’ pre & post separation through the eyes of Family Court Judges? We first seek to understand you and your case, and then advise with an end goal in mind.
We consider how actions may be viewed by the other side, social workers, and Family Court Judges.
We don’t take a ‘one size fits all approach’, we consider the circumstances of your case and the consequences of your actions through proceedings – be those email correspondence, court applications, positioning – and many more.
We understand that optics and likeability matter at Court.
Family Court Judges have a broad jurisdiction to make directions regarding children in hearings. How you articulate your positioning, and advocate for the argument you present matters when in a hearing room. We can help you frame your position and argument in an objective and fair manner – and advise on courtroom optics.
We offer flexible, accessible advice, without it feeling overwhelming or intimidating.
Sometimes legal advice when involved in disputes through the Family Court can feel intimidating, disempowering, procedural and overly formal. We offer a complementary, grounded approach that bridges the gap between formal legal advice and that of a litigant friend – equipped with the knowledge to help you achieve what’s best for you and your child.
