Practical help when a marriage ends
Queensland Family Law Practice helps people near Bardon work through separation and divorce with steady, practical advice. We are based at our Kelvin Grove office, a short drive from Bardon, and we act for families right across Brisbane’s inner west, in person or by phone and video. From the first conversation we focus on what matters to you, explain the options plainly, and map out the next step.
Separation touches living arrangements, children and finances all at once. Our job is to ease that load, protect your interests, and keep things as calm and low-cost as possible.
What Our Clients Say About Us
Clients describe our team as professional, empathetic and clear in the way we explain options and next steps.
How can we help?
We support you at every stage, from confirming whether you are eligible to apply through to finalising parenting and property. We handle the paperwork, manage filing and deadlines, and represent you if a court date is ever needed. Most matters resolve through negotiation or mediation, and we work toward that wherever it is sensible.
Whether your situation is simple or involves children, a business or complex finances, we shape our advice to suit and keep you informed throughout.
Why QFLP
People in Bardon come to us because we are approachable, well organised and genuinely on their side. After the first meeting you receive a short written plan with the legal steps, the documents to gather and realistic timeframes. We prepare and lodge the applications and consent orders, and we keep conflict to a minimum.
You speak with a real person who knows your matter, not a call centre, and we are upfront about costs.
Separation and divorce: what to expect
To apply for a divorce in Australia you generally need to have been separated for at least twelve months and to regard the marriage as over for good. You can be separated while still under the same roof, though that needs to be set out carefully in the application. We confirm your eligibility, prepare the documents, and deal with situations such as an overseas marriage or trouble locating a former partner.
Once granted, a divorce takes effect one month and one day later. It is separate from sorting out property and parenting, and time limits begin once you divorce, so early advice pays off.
Getting the application right the first time keeps your divorce moving and avoids needless delay.
Children and parenting after separation
Where children are involved, the priority is a workable arrangement that supports their wellbeing. Parenting is handled through parenting plans or consent orders, not the divorce itself. We help you agree clear terms for school weeks, holidays and changeovers so both parents know where they stand.
If you cannot agree, we prepare you for family dispute resolution and aim to settle without court. Where court is unavoidable, we seek orders that reflect the best interests of your child.
A stable parenting arrangement, settled early, takes pressure off the whole family.
Sorting out property and finances
Dividing property after separation means identifying everything you and your former partner own and owe, including superannuation, and reaching a fair split. We build a clear balance sheet, exchange financial disclosure, and negotiate an outcome that gives you certainty. Agreements are documented through consent orders so they are binding. Property settlement is tied to your divorce by strict time limits, so it is best not to leave it too long.
