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 Innisfail family lawyers assist clients with a wide range of family law matters, including separation and divorce, parenting and child custody disputes, property settlements, spousal maintenance, and binding financial agreements. We also provide advice and representation in matters involving domestic and family violence, including urgent applications where immediate protection may be required.

    Family law matters often arise during periods of significant stress and uncertainty. Our role is to provide clear, practical guidance so you understand your legal position and available options before making important decisions. Whether your matter can be resolved through negotiation or requires court proceedings, we tailor our advice to your circumstances and focus on outcomes that are fair, enforceable, and designed to provide long-term certainty for you and your family.

  • Seeking legal advice early after separation can greatly influence the direction and outcome of your family law matter. Early advice helps you understand how separation affects parenting arrangements, property interests, finances, and future responsibilities.

    Our Innisfail family lawyers help clients avoid common mistakes, such as informal agreements that are not legally binding or decisions that may disadvantage them later. Early guidance allows you to protect assets, plan appropriate arrangements for children, and approach discussions with your former partner in a structured and informed way. Even where separation is amicable, early legal advice ensures agreements are properly documented and enforceable, reducing the risk of disputes arising in the future.

  • Parenting arrangements are determined according to what is in the best interests of the child, which is the primary consideration under Australian family law. The court examines factors such as the child’s safety, emotional wellbeing, stability, and the importance of maintaining meaningful relationships with both parents where appropriate.

    Our Innisfail family lawyers assist parents to develop practical, child-focused parenting arrangements that reflect the child’s needs and family circumstances. Where agreement cannot be reached, we prepare and present parenting cases clearly in court, focusing on evidence and proposals that support the child’s long-term welfare. Our approach aims to minimise conflict while achieving arrangements that provide clarity and certainty for parents and children.

  • Property settlement involves identifying all assets and liabilities of both parties, assessing financial and non-financial contributions, and considering future needs such as income capacity, health, age, and care of children. There is no automatic or fixed division of property under family law.

    Our Innisfail family lawyers provide realistic advice about how the law applies to your circumstances and what outcomes may be considered fair. We aim to resolve property matters efficiently through negotiation or mediation, ensuring any agreement is properly documented and legally enforceable. Where court proceedings are required, we represent clients effectively to protect their financial interests and achieve an appropriate outcome.

  • Yes. Family law imposes strict time limits on certain applications. Property settlement and spousal maintenance claims must generally be commenced within 12 months of divorce or 2 years after separation for de facto relationships. Missing these deadlines can significantly restrict your legal options.

    Our Innisfail family lawyers carefully monitor 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 necessary court application where appropriate.

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

    Our lawyers focus on resolving disputes efficiently wherever possible, while remaining fully prepared to commence or defend court proceedings if negotiations are unsuccessful. We provide clear advice about the most suitable resolution pathway for your circumstances and support you throughout the process.

  • Lamont Law provides experienced, strategic, and client-focused family law representation. We understand the emotional and financial challenges family disputes can create, particularly in regional communities, and approach each matter with care and professionalism.

    Our Innisfail family lawyers are committed to clear communication, thorough preparation, and practical advice. We focus on protecting your interests, minimising unnecessary conflict, and guiding you through the family law process with confidence and clarity.
