Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law

 

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Family Lawyer?

Family law costs in Nowra, NSW, vary depending on the complexity of your matter and how it is resolved. Simple advice or document preparation is usually more affordable, while court proceedings cost more. We always explain fees upfront so you understand costs before making any decisions.

Do I Need a Lawyer to Apply for Divorce?

You don’t always need a lawyer to apply for divorce if the application is straightforward and uncontested. However, we recommend legal advice to ensure the paperwork is correct and deadlines are met, especially where family law issues like property or children are involved.

Can We Resolve Family Law Disputes Without Going to Court?

Yes, many matters can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative law. These options are often faster, less stressful, and more cost-effective than formal court proceedings. At Marriott Oliver Solicitors, we focus on practical solutions that avoid court wherever possible.

What Is the Difference Between Parenting Plans and Parenting Orders?

A parenting plan is a written agreement between parents and isn’t legally enforceable. Parenting orders are made by the court and must be followed. An experienced family law  lawyer can help you decide which option best protects your children and suits your circumstances.

How are parenting arrangements Decided by the Court?

When deciding parenting arrangements, the court focuses on the child’s best interests, including safety, views and needs of the child and the benefit to the child in having a relationship with the child’s parents. As your family law lawyer, we help present your situation clearly and ensure relevant family law factors are properly considered from the outset.
