  • Many family law issues can be resolved without going to court. Negotiation and mediation often lead to practical outcomes that save stress, cost and delay. However, urgent matters — such as protecting children, preventing assets from being sold, or seeking an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) — may require court intervention. Our lawyers represent clients in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, as well as in the Manly Local Court for domestic violence matters. If litigation becomes necessary, our Manly family lawyers will prepare your case thoroughly and guide you through the process.
