How Seacliff Family Law Supports You Through Every Step
We begin by understanding your personal circumstances and the details of your family law matter. During the initial consultation, which can be conducted online, by phone, or in person, we assess your needs, identify key issues, and outline your options moving forward. Based on this information, we develop a clear strategy and plan tailored to your goals.
1. IDENTIFY & PLAN
We begin by understanding your personal circumstances and the details of your family law matter. During the initial consultation, which can be conducted online, by phone, or in person, we assess your needs, identify key issues, and outline your options moving forward. Based on this information, we develop a clear strategy and plan tailored to your goals.
2. information gathering
We gather all necessary information, data, and evidence to support your case. This may involve collecting financial disclosure, documentation, expert reports, or collaborating with professionals such as accountants or financial planners. We ensure all the details are thoroughly researched to build a strong foundation for your case.
3. proposal & resolution pathway
We create a proposal and choose the best resolution pathway for your situation. Whether through direct negotiations, lawyer-assisted negotiations, collaborative law, mediation, arbitration, or Court proceedings, we aim to find a solution that keeps you out of Court whenever possible. However, we understand that in some cases, Court action may be unavoidable, and we are prepared to support you through that process.
4. Finalisation
Once an agreement is reached, we ensure all necessary documents are formalised. This could include parenting plans, consent orders, court orders, arbitration awards, financial agreements, or child support agreements. With this final step, you can move forward with confidence and clarity, knowing your family law matter has been resolved.
