Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our Redcliffe family lawyers provide advice and representation across the full spectrum of family law matters. This includes separation and divorce, parenting and custody disputes, property settlements, spousal maintenance, and binding financial agreements. We also assist clients where family or domestic violence is involved, including urgent applications and safety-related matters affecting children.

    Family law issues often arise during highly emotional periods and can have lasting legal and financial consequences if not handled properly. Our role is to guide you through the process with clear, practical advice and a structured approach. Whether your matter can be resolved through agreement or requires court intervention, we focus on outcomes that are legally sound, fair, and designed to provide long-term certainty and stability.

  • Seeking legal advice early after separation can significantly influence the outcome of your matter. Early guidance helps you understand how separation affects parenting arrangements, property division, financial responsibilities, and communication with your former partner.

    Our Redcliffe family lawyers assist clients to avoid common pitfalls, such as informal agreements that are not enforceable or actions that may negatively impact future negotiations. Early advice allows you to protect assets, make informed decisions regarding children, and approach discussions in a structured and strategic way. Even when separation is cooperative, obtaining legal advice early helps formalise arrangements correctly 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 overriding principle in Australian family law. The court considers factors including the child’s safety, emotional wellbeing, stability, and their relationship with each parent.

    Our Redcliffe family lawyers work closely with parents to develop child-focused proposals that reflect the child’s needs and practical realities. Where agreement cannot be reached, we prepare and present cases clearly and thoroughly in court. Our approach focuses on reducing conflict while advocating for arrangements that support the child’s long-term development and wellbeing.

  • Property division involves a detailed assessment of all assets and liabilities, contributions made by each party, and future needs such as income, health, age, and care of children. There is no automatic or predetermined split under family law.

    Our Redcliffe family lawyers provide realistic advice about how the law applies to your specific 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 enforceable. Where court proceedings are necessary, we represent clients effectively to protect their financial interests.

  • Yes. Family law imposes strict time limits. Applications for property settlement or spousal maintenance must generally be filed within 12 months of divorce or 2 years after separation for de facto relationships. Missing these deadlines can restrict your ability to make a claim.

    Our Redcliffe family lawyers carefully track relevant timeframes and provide timely advice to ensure your rights are preserved. If a deadline has passed, we can assess whether an extension may be available and assist with the required court application where appropriate.

  • No. Many family law disputes are resolved without going to court through negotiation, mediation, or consent orders. Resolving matters outside of court can reduce stress, delays, and costs, and often allows for more flexible solutions.

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

  • Lamont Law offers experienced, strategic, and compassionate family law representation. We understand the emotional and financial impact family disputes can have and focus on clear communication and careful preparation.

    Our Redcliffe family lawyers are committed to protecting your interests, minimising conflict where possible, and guiding you through the family law process with confidence and clarity.
