Striving to resolve matters out of court through mediation and conciliation which save you time, money and emotional distress, only a low percentage of our cases go to trial. At Maspero Legal, you will be dealing directly with a Family Law Solicitor from start to end and we go a step further than just doing the legal work for you.

The outcome of a divorce or separation will change the course of your life and Maspero Legal are well trained to handle every stage of your case. To apply for a divorce you need a certificate issued by the court which is usually granted after 12 months of continuous separation. A Court isn’t interested in the reason why you divorced (no fault divorce) and you can be granted the certificate if you live your ex partner however you need to satisfy the Court you are separated. This is known as the living under the same roof principle.

In Australia, the Federal Circuit Court and Family Courts both hear and grant divorce, separation and spousal maintenance cases. With complex laws changing constantly, these Courts are a stressful place to be in and it is important to have an experienced Family Law Lawyer who is able to navigate through your matter with you.

We regularly use negotiation and mediation to resolve divorce and separation matters on behalf of our clients as they are mutually beneficial settlement methods. With many different styles of negotiation and mediation such as round-table or shuttle, these methods of resolving family law disputes are much less stressful and emotional than that of going to Court and are cheaper as well.

Maspero Legal bring many years experience to solving complex family law disputes via consent order and property settlement methods which are again a cost effective and easier way of resolving your matter.
