O’Keefe Mahoney Bennett Solicitors

Going through a marriage or relationship break-up, especially one involving children, is one of the most distressing times in a person's life. O’Keefe Mahoney Bennett Solicitors highly recommend that you seek the guidance and experience of a legal practitioner in order to help you understand your legal rights and obligations.

Family law is one of the most difficult areas of law simply because of the emotions and very personal stakes people hold in the process and the outcome. Even where two people are normally intelligent, reasonable and rational, the circumstances of the break up and the stage of acceptance they have reached can impact greatly on their behaviour and their decisions. This is even more evident when there are children are involved. O’Keefe Mahoney Bennett Solicitors attempt to minimise the impact on all parties involved, particularly the children, and facilitate the best outcome for your and your family.

Contact Kim Eccleston for advice and assistance in relation to:

• Separation, including living separately under one roof;
• Divorce Applications;
• Property Settlement's married and de facto;
• Spousal Maintenance;
• Child Support;
• Residency of Children, Parental Contact and Grandparent's Contact;
• Prenuptial and Cohabitation Agreements - we encourage couples taking preventative measures to minimise conflict in the event of a break up;
• Domestic Violence Orders; and
• Childrens Court matters.

It is important to remember that to come to an amicable agreement with your former partner is the best possible result and this requires compromise by both parties. A decision by a Judge should be the last resort as you lose control of the decision making process and someone decides for you, leaving you at risk of a result you don't want.
