divorce

The primary grounds for divorce require that you have been separated for at least 12 months. There are times when one spouse is unable to leave the family home, which is referred to as “separation under the same roof“.

Proof of such an arrangement must be provided in the form of corroboration from a family member or friend. An important factor for married couples is to ensure that you can present your marriage certificate as proof of marriage, which in addition to proof of separation is required.

Domestic & Family Violence

Physical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, threats and coercion can all be forms of family and domestic violence all resulting in pain and suffering.

Rigoli Lawyers can assist you in taking immediate legal action to protect you and your family.

Applying for an Intervention order

An intervention order will protect you as the courts will issue an order legally prohibiting the other party from contacting you or your family if there is a risk of harm from the other party.

Applying for a restraining order

A restraining order is very similar however sets out more specific restrictions and once set out by the courts can make it illegal for someone to come within a radius of your home or place of work. Both restraining and intervention orders, if violated, can result in criminal prosecution by the police.

Property Settlements For Your Craigieburn Property

After a divorce case is started one question many may ask is – which assets are they are entitled to and how should these assets be split?

Some assets may include:

Property such as land or your home;
Vehicles;
Accounts in a bank (individual, joint, or children’s);
Collectable possessions such as artwork, memorabilia and anything else of value; and Intellectual property or the good will value of a business

We can assist you in arranging independent valuations with real estate agents and other experts to determine a property’s market value so that you can divide your assets appropriately and receive what you are entitled to.

Child Custody & Arrangements

When it comes to divorce cases involving children, the general assumption is that decision-making in these areas will be shared by both parents in order to protect the best interests of the child or children.

This is not always possible, especially when there are safety concerns for the children, such as domestic violence or an abusive partner in the relationship.

In these cases, if the parents cannot agree the Court will ultimately decide the outcome, which could include granting all responsibility to one of the parties or establishing “shared parental responsibility” arrangements for both parties.
