Property Settlements
Property settlements involve dividing assets and liabilities between parties following a separation or divorce. The Family Law Act provides a framework for property settlements, taking into account factors such as the length of the relationship, contributions made by each party, and future needs. At Mantoo Lawyers, we help you understand your entitlements and work towards a fair and just settlement. Whether through negotiation, divorce mediation, or court proceedings, we aim to achieve the best outcome for our clients. We have the best divorce lawyers on our team to ensure your interests are protected.
Spousal Maintenance
Spousal maintenance is financial support provided by one party to the other following separation or divorce. It is not automatic and depends on the financial needs of one party and the ability of the other to pay. Factors looked at include the age and health of both parties, their income and financial resources, and the standard of living during the marriage. Our lawyers can assist you in applying for or responding to claims for spousal maintenance, making sure that your rights and duties are clearly understood and fairly addressed. If you are seeking a family law specialist for spousal maintenance issues, we can help.
Family Violence and Intervention Orders
Family violence is a serious issue that can have significant legal and emotional effects. We can help you obtain a Family Violence Intervention Order (FVIO) to ensure your safety and the safety of your children. We also represent clients who have had intervention orders made against them, helping them understand their rights and duties. Our domestic violence lawyers are skilled in handling these sensitive cases with care and skill.
Mediation and Dispute Resolution
Mediation is an alternative to court proceedings that can be less stressful and more cost-effective. It involves a third party who helps the disputing parties reach an agreement. In family law, mediation can be used to resolve issues related to parenting arrangements, property settlements, and spousal maintenance. At Mantoo Lawyers, we support clients through the mediation process, providing advice and representation to help achieve friendly resolutions. Our family law facilitator can help guide you through this process.
Adoption and Surrogacy
Adoption and surrogacy are complex areas of family law that involve legal processes to establish parental rights. In Victoria, adoption is governed by the Adoption Act 1984, while surrogacy arrangements are regulated under the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Act 2008 (Cth) and the Surrogacy (Victoria) Regulations 2010. Our team of Victoria family law lawyers can guide you through the legal requirements and processes involved in adoption and surrogacy, ensuring your rights are protected.
