Family Law

Our expert advice and representation will help you move forward with life.

Cam Schroder and Leonie Davey are our legal experts in various areas of family law. They have many years of experience working with families on legal cases in Yeppoon and are here to provide you with professional advice and dedicated legal support.

Whether you’re married, divorced, separated or de facto, we can assist you with the following areas of family law:

  • Property settlements and other property matters
  • Wills and estates
  • Financial agreements and pre-nuptial agreements
  • Domestic violence matters or apprehended violence orders

We can help you to move forward at a time when your world is cloudy and uncertain. Our advice is based on years of legal and practical experience of dealing with family dynamics.

Divorce

Going through a separation or divorce can be a challenging and painful time. Whatever the circumstances, our team will provide specialist legal support to help you get the best out of the situation.

You can apply for a divorce if you and your spouse have been separated for at least 12 months and there is no reasonable likelihood of your relationship resuming. Our legal services for divorce and separation can help you to make the right decisions so that you can both move forward.

Parenting & Custody

It can sometimes be tough to amicably make parenting and custody arrangements, especially after a divorce or separation.

We have extensive experience with this area of family law, including putting custody arrangements in place and ensuring the ongoing safety and protection of children. We can support you with making the right arrangements for the care of your children, either in or out of court.

Property Matters

Disputes about property can arise during a divorce or relationship breakdown. Whether you were married or in a de facto relationship, the same general principles for dividing property apply.

We can assist with ensuring that property and assets are divided fairly and appropriately, regardless of their value. This includes applying for court orders where necessary.

Financial Agreements

Disagreements about finances can also come up when you’re going through a divorce or separation. Our team have years of experience dealing with financial disputes and can help with ensuring that money, assets, and debts are fairly divided when a relationship comes to an end.

This includes representing you if the matter needs to be taken to the Family Court.

Wills & Estates

It’s vital to have a legal and valid will in place. Changes in your circumstances, such as bereavement or divorce, will mean a new and updated will is required. Our team can help with preparing and safely storing your will.

We also know that administering an estate once someone has passed away can be a difficult experience, and we have the expertise to help make this process as straightforward as possible.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a very serious issue, and our team have the knowledge and experience to deal with these cases sensitively. The support we offer includes arranging and defending domestic violence orders.

We provide advice and support to help men, women, and parents move on from these difficult experiences and stay protected going forward.
