Family Law presides over all aspects of a family's ongoing existence and functionality. The main areas of concern are focused on the failure of the actual relationship, divorce, care for children, financial support to the parties involved and property/ asset distribution.

A relationship includes marriage, a partnership, de facto couple including same sex couples, all of whom are provided for and protected under the Family Law Act.

There are many avenues of help available within the community; however, the ultimate breakdown of a relationship, no matter the type, will most likely involve legal matters and therefore, your first reference for assistance should be a qualified lawyer.In some circumstances personal safety can be an issue, which should be addressed as a matter of priority by contacting the police.
