Our family law firm takes a friendly, experienced approach to help you in the following matters:

  • Domestic Violence: we provide assistance and representation in each stage of your domestic violence matter – from preparation to filing and representation in court.
  • Parenting Arrangements: our family law firm can assist you in resolving parenting matters through alternate dispute resolution and the preparation and negotiation of Consent and Ipswich Court Orders.

Domestic violence and the breakdown of a relationship are extremely troubling experiences. It is difficult to cope with these situations mentally, emotionally and physically. A family law specialist can help ease the burden that you are experiencing with trusted legal services. When you hire a lawyer, you are hiring someone to handle the complicated legal process on your behalf. This saves you from having to do things such as applications, form filing and appearing before the court.

By choosing to hire a family law specialist over a generalist lawyer, you might see several benefits. A specialist will likely have more expertise and experience in family law and is more likely to deliver the results that you desire. But a family law specialist might also save you money and time by managing the legal process efficiently.

At VM Family Law, our collaborative team of Ipswich family lawyers wants to help you achieve the best possible outcome, whilst minimising the strain and stress of the process. But we are more than just a specialist family law firm. We are your friend in times of need. Our team of female lawyers is here to support you in our office, over the phone or online.

Every person is different in their needs. If you are considering engaging a family law firm, consider their area of expertise, experience, costs, location and availability. But also think about how you would like to interact with you solicitor and degree of attention that you expect from them.

At VM Family Law, our firm specialises solely in family law and domestic violence issues. We are extremely experienced in these matters and our solicitors collaborate to focus on delivering outcomes. However, we also believe in a caring and considerate approach when interacting with our clients, from the first initial consultation, child support arrangements to court representation. You are more than just a client; you are a friend in most family law issues.

Some family law firms track how long they spend on your particular matter and charge based on an hourly basis. At VM Family Law, our Ipswich family lawyers provide fixed fee agreements so that our clients can have peace. We want you to know exactly what services we are providing and how much we charge for those services. By charging a fixed fee, we help our clients to avoid any nasty surprises at the end of their family law matter.
