Property

The first step in making a clean break financially is to divide your property pool with your partner. We’ll help you understand what’s included, how it will be valued and offer strategies to create a financially certain future.

Parenting

It’s important to make arrangements for your children which will support and nurture them. We will work with you to put their needs first, taking into account the practicalities of separated life.

Divorce

In Australia, divorce is usually the easiest step to take. We will take care of the paperwork so that you can move towards freedom and a new life on your own terms.

Our approach

Solo Legal puts you at the heart of your family law matter. Our approach is to workshop solutions to empower you to choose your own path to independence.

We trust that you know what is best for you, and for your children. You know your life, we know the law. We’ll help you navigate the complexity of the legal system in a professional yet empathetic way.

We understand that separating from your partner, particularly when the relationship has been toxic, can be traumatic and lonely. We are trauma-informed, which means your physical and emotional safety is paramount.

How it works

First call

You can schedule a free 15-minute phone call with Caroline Parsons, Principal Lawyer at Solo Legal. At this stage, we won’t provide legal advice. We just want to understand what you’re facing, to see if we can help.

Strategy session

If we can help, we’ll arrange a strategy session. Either at your home or office or by videoconference. The session will be for around an hour and cost $300 plus GST. During the session we’ll work through the steps of separation and workshop your path forward.

From there...

If you decide to engage Solo Legal, we’ll send you a retainer setting out our fixed fees or an agreed hourly rate and overall estimate to complete your matter. We will be open, transparent and proactive to ensure you can manage your legal costs effectively.
