Five reasons why you need a lawyer to assist in your family law matter.
Keep reading the text to find answers to why you need a Lawyer for your Family Legal Matter.

1. Lawyers can professionally draft the formal agreement required to complete property settlement.

In cases of family law property settlement, property settlement must be formalised. If parties have reached an agreement about the split of matrimonial assets, they need to have a Binding Financial Agreement or Minute of Consent Orders. Both of these documents should be professionally drafted.

2. You may achieve a better outcome in your matter with professional advice from a family lawyer.

The second reason is, to achieve the best possible outcome in your family law matter, you might benefit from professional advice from a family lawyer.

3. In cases of domestic violence, a family lawyer can facilitate communication where its otherwise prohibited by means of a DVO.

The third reason is, in some unfortunate cases, there is Domestic Violence involved and a party could be protected by Domestic Violence Order. Usually, the terms of that order would restrain the respondent from communicating directly with the aggrieved. There is an exception, it can be done through a family law solicitor or any legal practitioner.

4. Family lawyers have extensive experience in these matters and can help you finalise your matter as soon as possible.

Your family law solicitor has probably done it many, many times with other matters and for other clients, so they can suggest options which you have never even thought about, to help formalise and finalise your matter as soon as possible.

5. You can relieve some of your stress associated with your matter to your legal team.

And of course, reason number five, family law matters are stressful. So it's much better, in our opinion, just to delegate your stress to your legal team. You deal with your solicitor and you deal with the paralegal assisting on your matter rather than dealing directly with the other party - you leave it to us.
