Family Law
Family law is one of the most emotional areas of law. We strive to offer support and understanding at a stressful time.
While our reputation as litigators and tenacious advocates is second to none, we understand that not every situation demands an adversarial response. Mediation can be a powerful tool to achieve a favourable outcome without the cost and stress of litigation. We can also assist with preventative measures such as properly drafted agreements between couples who intend to marry, live together or separate.
We believe that empathy combined with the recognised legal knowledge and skills strikes the necessary balance to enable us to offer clear, unambiguous and strategic legal advice.
Gerard Gooden co-authored the Significant Personal Relationship Bill that was introduced into the 50th session of the New South Wales Parliament. The Bill was based upon 7 years of community consultation and research. Part of this Bill was adopted into the Property (Relationships) Act NSW and the Bill became the model for the legal recognition of defacto relationships in both Victoria and Tasmania.
