Given the very private, personal and financial nature of issues involving family law, choosing the right family lawyer for your needs is important.  In family law, confidentiality and trust are vital. You are entitled to have your lawyer (solicitor) listen carefully to the issues as you see them, provide objective legal advice, and ensure your legal needs are met.

The MacDonnells Law Family Law team includes three Queensland Law Society Family Law Accredited Specialists in Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville.  Our family law specialists understand the framework in which family law operates and they take the time to understand your individual case to achieve the most beneficial outcome.

Our Family Law team has expertise in all areas of family law and they take pride in providing prompt and reliable legal services to all clients, helping to reduce the stress in these difficult times.

MacDonnells Law’s Queensland-wide family law services include:

  • parenting issues such as equal shared parenting and parental responsibility (also known as child custody, residence or contact issues)
  • child support
  • other arrangements in relation to children
  • separation and divorce
  • spousal maintenance
  • pre-marriage, marriage and post-separation binding financial agreements (previously termed prenuptial agreements)
  • matrimonial property
  • de facto relationship property settlements

MacDonnells Law is one of Queensland’s top 10 independent legal firms and has more than 90 professional staff members in Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville.  We offer legal services in every field complementary to family law, reducing the likelihood of delays, costs or hassles in the resolution of your family law matter. These legal services include:

  • wills & powers of attorney
  • property & property settlements
  • commercial
  • taxation

Not all family law and relationship matters need end up in Family Court.  At MacDonnells Law, our family lawyers have a strong focus on dispute resolution and can advise you on out-of-Court settlements, or when it is advisable to proceed to Court.

Whether you are considering marriage, living with someone, or separation, the MacDonnells Law family lawyers know the complexity of the law and are sensitive to your needs.
