Family Law, Divorce, Property, De facto, Separation, Child Custody

Sadly not all families are happy families.  Family issues such as divorce, property settlement and matters involving children can be emotionally draining and confusing.  The team at Terese Wacyk Legal will help guide you through and advise best options during these testing times.

Relationship Property Lawyers 

Whether you are looking to protect your assets and need advice on your rights when separating relationship property when a relationship ends, we have the experience to help ensure your rights, entitlements and assets are protected.

Separating Relationship Property

Whether you are ending a marriage, civil union or a defacto relationship, it is extremely important for you to meet all the legal requirements to finalise the separation of  property as soon as possible.  Otherwise your ex-partner may be able to make claims on future earnings and assets you acquire in the future, or make a claim against your estate should you pass away.   As divorce and separation experts, we can assist you with simple divisions of property through to complex relationship property divisions involving family trusts, family businesses and family farms.  As skilled negotiators who are experts in family law (and the Court’s interpretation of family laws) we will help you achieve the best possible outcome so that you can move on with your life.   As part of a full service firm we can advise you on and finalise all aspects of the process, including completing the conveyancing to sell or transfer property (and  if you purchase new property), winding up family trusts and establishing new family trusts, drafting a new will and new enduring powers of attorney.
