How we can help you

  • Separation and divorce

    From advice on how best to approach a legal separation, through to formal applications for divorce, our lawyers are available to guide you through the process.

  • Property settlements

    The team at Lamrocks can help you to negotiate and agree on a property settlement following your separation - making sure your best interests are taken into account. We can also help with representation in Court if required and protecting your assets during a dispute.

  • Children’s issues and parenting arrangements

    Our family lawyers can help to resolve disputes over where children will live, the amount of time they will spend with each parent, and many other general parenting issues. We can help parents, and grandparents if appropriate, to determine the best possible outcome for the family as a whole.

  • Child support

    Whether you need advice regarding the assessment process for Child Support through the Child Support Agency, or assistance in working out a private Child Support Agreement, our team of lawyers can help.

  • De-facto relationships

    If you were involved in a de-facto relationship, many of your rights and obligations are now the same as those of a married couple. At Lamrocks, we can help you with the division of property and parenting arrangements if children are involved.
