Divorce or separation can lead to financial disputes over shared finances and assets obtained during the relationship. This may include property and personal assets and also superannuation funds and business interests.

Family Mediation & Conciliation Lawyers
Regardless of whether your separation is amicable or otherwise, you and your former partner may wish to avoid going to Court.
Lionheart Lawyers can assist you with speedy and inexpensive alternatives such as mediation. An independent mediator will help carry out negotiations between you and your former partner.
If Court proceedings have commenced, conciliation is another common option when there are issues regarding property and financial settlements. A judicial registrar from the Court will act as conciliator to help both parties reach a suitable agreement on how property and finances should be distributed.
Whether you want to choose mediation or you need to proceed through conciliation, take comfort knowing one of our professional family lawyers will be by your side the whole way.
