I had the pleasure of being represented by Anna and Joanna for a traffic matter, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. They were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. Their clear communication and strategic approach gave me confidence from start to finish—and thanks to their hard work, I was able to achieve the result I was hoping for. Highly recommend their services to anyone in need of strong legal representation.

I honestly could not recommend this firm and Kristina enough !

From start to finish she was able to answer every question I had and was able to continually keep me informed on all possible outcomes.

We were able to achieve the exact outcome I wanted and I’ll always be grateful at the effort and time spent on my case.

If you need representation this is the place to go.

A massive thank you to both Jelena and kristina for helping and guiding me through my case. Without Jelena representing me and the work she put in I don’t believe I would have gotten the result I got which was the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Lamont lawyers

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our Holland Park family lawyers assist individuals and families with a wide range of family law matters. These include divorce and separation, parenting and custody disputes, property settlements, spousal maintenance, and binding financial agreements. We also advise and represent clients in matters involving domestic and family violence, including urgent applications where immediate legal protection is required.

    Family law matters can be overwhelming, particularly when emotions are high and important decisions must be made quickly. Our approach is to provide clear, straightforward advice so you understand your legal position and available options. Whether your matter is resolved through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings, we focus on outcomes that are practical, legally sound, and designed to provide certainty and stability for the future.

  • Yes. Obtaining legal advice early, even before separation occurs, can help protect your interests and prevent costly mistakes. Early advice allows you to understand how separation may affect parenting arrangements, property division, finances, and ongoing obligations.

    Our Holland Park family lawyers assist clients by providing guidance on what steps to take and what to avoid during the early stages of separation. This includes advice about managing finances, communication with your former partner, and arrangements for children. Early legal support helps ensure decisions are made with full awareness of their legal consequences and reduces the risk of disputes arising later.

  • Parenting arrangements are assessed according to what is in the best interests of the child, which is the most important consideration under Australian family law. The court looks at factors such as the child’s safety, emotional and developmental needs, stability, and the quality of their relationship with each parent.

    Our Holland Park family lawyers help parents develop parenting proposals that are practical, child-focused, and suited to the family’s circumstances. Where agreement cannot be reached, we represent clients in court and present evidence clearly to support arrangements that promote the child’s long-term wellbeing while minimising conflict wherever possible.

  • A property settlement involves identifying all assets and liabilities, assessing contributions made by each party, and considering future needs such as income, health, age, and responsibility for children. There is no automatic or standard division of property under family law.

    Our Holland Park family lawyers provide realistic advice about how the law applies to your situation and what outcomes may be considered fair. We aim to resolve property matters efficiently through negotiation or mediation, ensuring agreements are properly documented and enforceable. Where court proceedings are necessary, we represent clients effectively to protect their financial position.

  • Yes. Family law imposes strict time limits for certain applications. Property settlement and spousal maintenance claims must usually be made within 12 months of divorce or 2 years after separation for de facto relationships. Missing these deadlines can limit your ability to pursue a claim.

    Our Holland Park family lawyers closely monitor all relevant timeframes and provide timely advice to ensure your rights are protected. If a deadline has already passed, we can assess whether an extension may be available and assist with the required court application where appropriate.

  • Yes. Many family law matters are resolved without going to court through negotiation, mediation, or consent orders. Resolving disputes outside of court can reduce emotional stress, delays, and legal costs, and often allows for more flexible outcomes.

    Our lawyers prioritise early resolution where appropriate, while remaining fully prepared to commence or defend court proceedings if negotiations do not succeed. We provide clear advice about the most suitable pathway for your circumstances and guide you through each step of the process.

  • Lamont Law provides experienced, thoughtful, and strategic family law representation. We understand that family law matters are personal and often stressful, and we approach each case with care and professionalism.

    Our Holland Park family lawyers are committed to clear communication, careful preparation, and practical advice. We focus on protecting your interests, reducing unnecessary conflict, and helping you navigate the family law process with confidence and clarity.
