Family Law

Maintaining relationships

Family Law is equally important for marriages and de facto relationships, and it is important before, during and after a relationship.

Moores Legal helps people going through the stress of separation or divorce to achieve security and to reduce conflict - for you and your children.

Another legal service we provide, before or during a relationship, is to prepare a prenuptial or other agreement which makes your financial future clear.

Finding that you need Family Law help can be tough and we are experts in caring for people from marriages and de facto relationships. We use the best counsellors and mediators and we regularly handle the most complex tax and financial cases, as well as difficult children's disputes. In our experience, non court solutions are best for most people.

We help you to communicate your needs. We emphasise avoiding harm to your children and we work to sensitively and creatively solve your problems.

If a relationship breaks down, our recommendation can be summarised as, "Disengage with dignity - because you are parents for a long, long time; but if we have to take tough action for you we will." The Moores Legal Family Law Team will answer all your questions about children, property, financial restructuring, spouse maintenance, child support and your financial security.

Our lawyers will discuss the numerous methods of settling cases without court and may encourage you to consider a process called Collaborative Family Law under which parties agree in writing not to go to court as do their respective lawyers. Whatever your chosen settlement process, we will keep you closely informed about every required step and we will keep you constantly up to date about your legal costs, making it clear whether or not any step is cost effective for you.

We want to help you get your life back on track as quickly as possible.

Our large team of lawyers is led by Stephen Winspear and Peter Szabo, two of the most respected Family Lawyers in Australia and includes 4 Law Institute of Victoria Accredited Specialists in Family Law.
