Legal advice on dividing property, debts and superannuation after separation, and formalising an agreed settlement.

Your home, savings, debts and superannuation can make a separation feel complicated. Daniel helps you understand the information you need and the options available to you.
You may have already agreed on a division, be partway through discussions, or need help getting started. We can advise you, negotiate on your behalf and help put an appropriate agreement into effect.
Start with a brief outline of your situation. Tell us about any agreement, existing proceedings or approaching dates so we can discuss the next step.
