Family Law & Divorce

Navigating Your Future with Expertise & Experience

Separation is complex, but your legal representation shouldn’t be. At CCS Lawyers, I move beyond generic advice to provide a high-level strategy tailored to your specific family and financial circumstances.

While my practice is boutique, my reach is comprehensive. I leverage my dual background in Accounting and Family Law to provide a distinct advantage in property settlements, ensuring that no financial detail—no matter how complex—is overlooked.

A Pragmatic Approach to Resolution

My goal is always to achieve a dignified settlement as efficiently as possible. I am a strong advocate for Alternative Dispute Resolution to keep you out of the courtroom, but I am also a seasoned litigator. If your situation requires the Court’s intervention, you have the benefit of a practitioner who understands the system both as a Senior Lawyer and a parent.

Areas of Practice

I provide expert representation across the full spectrum of Family Law, including:

  • Financial & Property Matters: Specialising in the division of assets, superannuation transfers, spousal maintenance, and investigating complex financial transactions.  Assisting with immediate financial support to ensure your family’s stability during the transition.
  • Parenting & Children: Crafting sustainable arrangements for living schedules, relocation, and major long-term decisions regarding health and education.
  • Divorce & Separation: Strategic guidance to navigate the technical requirements of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, including contested service and international asset
  • Dispute Resolution & Litigation: Guiding you through mediation, round-table conferences, or robust Court representation in contravention and enforcement proceedings.
