AGREEMENT WITHOUT COURT

Gordon Lawyers strive to obtain an agreement without going to Court. This reduces the stress and legal costs.

A legally binding agreement can be achieved without anyone going to Court. Such agreements are called Consent Orders and can be used for property divisions and parenting arrangements.

It is vital that an agreement be correctly recorded in Consent Orders to guard against a future claim. An informal "handshake" agreement, even if it's in writing, is no protection from a future claim.

Property Settlements

Often one of the biggest concerns for separated spouses (married or de-facto) is how to divide their assets and debts, often called a "property settlement".

There are many factors that affect a person's entitlements. There are many misconceptions in the community and just wrong "backyard advice".

Gordon Lawyers can answer your questions and let you know where you stand.

CHILDREN

&

PARENTING

While there is no such thing as custody anymore, the best interests of the children remains the most important factor in working out who the children live with and how much time they spend with each parent.

Family mediation can be good option to discuss and try to resolve disagreements. An agreement reached through mediation or with the assistance of lawyers can be recorded in a parenting plan or consent orders.

It is important to get legal advice before mediation so you know where you stand.

A Divorce is the formal dissolution of a marriage. Divorces are no-fault. The only requirement to get a divorce is 12 months of separation.

A divorce is separate from property settlements and issues about children. There is no need to wait for a divorce to do a property settlement or work out other family law issues.
