Steady support through separation and divorce
Queensland Family Law Practice helps people in Ashgrove work through separation and divorce with clear advice and a steady plan. We work from our office in nearby Kelvin Grove, so families across Brisbane’s inner north-west can reach us easily, and we also meet by phone or video when that is simpler. From the first conversation our focus is practical: understand what matters to you, explain your options in plain language, and set out the steps that move your matter forward.
Separation affects living arrangements, parenting and finances all at once. Our role is to take the legal weight off your shoulders, protect your interests and keep the process as calm and constructive 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 guide you through every stage of a family law matter, from working out whether you are eligible to apply through to finalising parenting and property arrangements. We prepare the paperwork, manage filing and deadlines, and represent you if a court appearance is ever needed. Most matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation rather than a contested hearing, and we aim for that wherever it is realistic.
Whether your situation is straightforward or involves children, a business or complex finances, we tailor our advice to your circumstances and keep you informed at each step.
Why QFLP
Families in Ashgrove choose us because we are clear, organised and genuinely on their side. After your first discussion we give you a short written plan setting out the legal steps, the documents to gather and realistic timeframes, so you always know what happens next. We do the work of preparing and filing applications and consent orders, and we keep conflict to a minimum.
You deal with a real person who knows your matter, not a call centre. We explain costs up front and work in clear stages so there are no surprises.
Separation and divorce: how the process works
To apply for a divorce in Australia you generally need to have been separated for at least twelve months and consider the marriage to have broken down for good. You can be separated while still living under the same roof, though that needs to be explained carefully in the application. We help you confirm your eligibility, prepare the application, and deal with situations such as a marriage overseas or difficulty locating a former partner.
Once a divorce is granted, the order takes effect one month and one day later. Divorce is separate from sorting out property and parenting, and there are time limits that begin once you divorce, so it is worth getting advice early.
Children and parenting arrangements
When children are involved, the priority is a workable arrangement that supports their wellbeing. Parenting is handled through parenting plans or consent orders rather than the divorce itself. We help you set clear terms for school weeks, holidays, special occasions and changeovers, so both parents know where they stand.
Where there is disagreement, we prepare you for family dispute resolution and aim to reach agreement without going to court. If court becomes necessary, we seek arrangements that reflect the best interests of your child.
Settling parenting early takes pressure off everyone, most of all the children. We help you focus on what matters and put it into clear, workable terms.
Property settlement and financial matters
Dividing property after separation means identifying everything you and your former partner own and owe, including superannuation, and reaching a fair division. We build a clear picture of your assets and debts, exchange the required 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. If negotiation stalls, we explain the court pathway clearly and prepare your matter properly. We also advise on spousal maintenance and child support where they are relevant to your situation.
