Family Law

Whether it’s parenting agreements or consent orders; property settlements and consent orders; or fully contested Family Court litigation - Kelly & Partners will handle your family law problems professionally, conscientiously and sympathetically. We strongly encourage parties to work things out as much as they can themselves to avoid unnecessary legal fees and to preserve as much of the relationship as possible. 

We know that the breakdown of a marriage or relationship is traumatic and unpleasant for everyone involved. Parties to marriage intend that it will be for life - “until death do us part” as traditional marriage ceremonies still put it. But sometimes things just don’t work out despite best endeavours. We empathise with you in this difficult time and we genuinely aim to assist you to reach resolution in the best way for you.

Sadly, however, sometimes one partner may be intent on using the family law system to punish their former spouse or partner, so that reaching a fair agreement is almost impossible. When that occurs we have the experience and expertise to represent you through the Court’s processes to a full hearing and determination, whether in parenting or property disputes.
