Breakups are often stressful and complicated enough without the need to involve lawyers. Uncertainty in how Australia’s complex legal system operates, and the complexity of emotions can make a difficult time even more so, especially with blended assets and finances.
At Brightstone Legal, we are dedicated to providing you with professional yet empathetic advice that will ease your way through these difficult times. We pride ourselves on our unique problem-solving approach to any issues you may have.

Our Service
Family is the fundamental unit of society, closely knit together by blood ties and emotional bonds. We all hope for a harmonious and warm family life, but in reality, various issues are bound to arise. From minor disagreements to major conflicts, when family relationships break down, many people go through a challenging period, especially if children are involved. Even in a harmonious family environment, issues such as property settlement agreements may arise.
Family law is designed to provide legal guidance and protect individual rights during these challenging times. In Australia, family law encompasses a range of principles dealing with matters such as marriage, de facto relationships, separation, divorce, property settlement, spousal maintenance, child custody, and family violence.
We adopt a comprehensive and nuanced approach to ensure that every client fully understands the process. Whether the situation appears simple or complex, we are committed to assisting you and planning for the future.
Our Family Law Services Include:
- Legal advice on marriage and de facto relationships
- Legal procedures for separation and divorce
- Property distribution before or after marriage
- Property settlement and asset protection strategies
- Preventing unlawful transfer of marital assets and legal remedies
- Freezing orders and other legal tools to safeguard property rights
- Negotiation and resolution of spousal maintenance disputes
- Child custody arrangements and visitation rights guidance
It’s important to note that while family law covers a broad range of issues, many people may not realise that their family matters could involve multiple areas of law. Resolving these issues often requires navigating through various legal departments. For instance, in Australia’s diverse and international society, family law might intersect with immigration law, property law, and other related legal fields. Therefore, a thorough understanding and application of relevant laws are crucial for protecting the rights of family members. With legal assistance, we can better address family issues and maintain family harmony.
