Law is an extremely complex business with many specialist fields with lawyers who work exclusively in that field; in this short article, we highlight some of the services on offer from a Sydney-based law firm.

Divorce and separation – Talk to one of the top de facto lawyers about de facto relationships and your rights; if you are married, you need to seek a family lawyer as soon as possible. Not hiring a lawyer could cost you a fortune; Google can help you find a local law practice and you can enjoy a free Zoom call to discuss your situation.
Child custody – In the event you divorce your partner and cannot make an agreement with your ex-partner, you need to hire a lawyer with child custody experience. He or she would likely meet with their opposing lawyer and hopefully, an agreement can be reached; otherwise, the case might have to be heard by a family court.
Child support – It is often the case where the husband leaves the family home and does not support his wife and children financially; of course, the wife and mother can seek assistance from a family lawyer to order their ex-partner to pay child support.

Domestic violence – Sadly, domestic violence is on the rise, which is obviously unacceptable; if you are the victim of domestic abuse, call a family lawyer immediately and a restraining order can be applied for. You can call a lawyer at any time of day or night if you are threatened with violence and we recommend that you take that course of action, should this ever happen.
Will writing – Every Australian adult should make a will and the family lawyer can facilitate this for a small fee. Indeed, such a service can be arranged online, then you visit their offices to sign with witnesses and everything is legal and you can relax.
Contesting a will – In the event a recently deceased family relative did not name you as a beneficiary and you have good reason to be expected to be included, you can contest the will. You would need to provide some form of strong evidence; a letter stating that he/she intends to leave something to you would be a good example. If their will had recently been amended and you were removed from the beneficiary list, this might warrant further investigation.
Asset division – When two people decide to call it a day, they must divide the joint assets and sometimes, this is difficult, as both parties cannot come to an agreement. Many couples draw up a pre-nuptial agreement to avoid disputes like this.

As you can see, a family law firm offers many services and an experienced team are always on hand to advise you at any time.
