Family Law & Divorce FAQs
Answers to Your Common Family Law Questions
Payne Velasco answers common questions about divorce, custody, maintenance and property division, providing clear guidance to help clients navigate family law matters efficiently and with confidence.
What should I include in a separation agreement?
A separation agreement should outline the division of assets, custody arrangements, maintenance obligations, and any other financial arrangements, ensuring both parties’ rights and responsibilities are clearly defined.
How can I resolve custody disputes?
Custody disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or, if necessary, court proceedings. Our team helps clients pursue fair custody and access arrangements, prioritising the child’s best interests.
What are my rights regarding spousal maintenance?
Spousal maintenance can be claimed if one party is unable to support themselves post-separation. We assist clients in determining entitlement, negotiating agreements, and enforcing maintenance orders.
How is property divided during a divorce?
Property division is based on a range of factors, including the length of the marriage, financial contributions, and future needs. Our team ensures fair and just settlements that protect your financial future.
Can I prevent my spouse from taking the children abroad?
Yes, if there are concerns about child abduction, we can seek court orders to prevent unlawful removal. We work with clients to safeguard their children’s well-being and enforce custody arrangements.
