Separation, children and property, handled without making a hard time harder.

Family matters arrive at the worst possible time, usually alongside everything else going on in a person's life. Most of them turn on two questions: where the children live, and how property is divided. Both are easier to resolve early, before positions harden.

City Group Legal acts in family matters for clients across South-West Sydney, in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and in the Local Court where apprehended violence orders are involved.

Where family law meets criminal law

Apprehended violence orders sit on the line between the two. An ADVO is made in the Local Court and can affect where you live and when you see your children, and breaching one is a criminal offence. Because the firm defends AVOs and criminal charges daily, a matter that starts as a family dispute and turns into a police matter does not need to move to another firm.
