Expert Family Lawyers to Your Needs.

What do we offer?

A separation agreement is a legally-binding document that is filed with, and fully enforceable by, the court. While you may be motivated to resolve your divorce or separation quickly, agreeing to something that hurts you can have costs that far outweigh the benefits of a speedy resolution.

We future-proof agreements by inserting proper clauses that stand the test of time. Whether as part of your file or the formalization of a draft document with your partner or mediator, our attention to detail and honest assessment will ensure an agreement that has your best interests in mind. Some of the many factors we consider include:

  • Child Guardianship, Custody & Access
  • Support – Child & Spousal
  • Property and Asset Division
  • Debt Liability Management
  • Tax implications
  • Relocation with Children
  • Appeal Process
  • End-Dates
  • Death and Illness
  • Full File Review
  • and many more.

Complexity is our Specialty

Many of our clients have complex asset structures that require a high level of expertise in the financial and tax implications that a separation agreement can have. Working in family law, we’re able to anticipate these effects and structure your agreement terms in a way that maximizes asset retention.

Private & Confidential

Separation agreements (or Settlements) are completely private documents that keep your financial, tax, and personal information from public access. We understand the importance of discretion and do everything we can to ensure your separation agreement remains private.

Areas of Focus

Family law

Swiftsure Law in Victoria has a proven track record of achieving positive results for its clients both inside and outside of the courtroom. Careful planning and a crafted strategic presentation win the day.

Appeals

While it’s natural for people on the losing end of a judgement to feel like they’ve been slighted, there are legitimate situations where a judge, master, or arbitrator “got it wrong” based on the information they had available to them at the time.

Divorce & separation

A separation agreement is a legally-binding document that is filed with, and fully enforceable by, the court. While you may be motivated to resolve your divorce or separation quickly, agreeing to something that hurts you can have costs that far outweigh the benefits of a speedy resolution.

Mediation

A mediator is a neutral facilitator who builds consensus between parties and then documents their agreement. Separation agreements made at mediations are legally binding and when filed with the court, are enforceable like a court order. A mediator neither gives legal advice nor makes the decisions for you. Mediation is a confidential process where a decision is made by the parties instead of being imposed upon you.
