Family Law and
Relationships

We understand the extreme stress and pressures arising from family and relationship breakdown.

That’s why our family lawyers offer thoughtful, personalised services to help clients navigate the complexities of family law and receive their full legal entitlements.

It’s important to have experienced help on hand when dealing with the sometimes complex legal procedures and paperwork involved in separation and custody issues. However, Rockdene’s family lawyers consider the ‘whole person’ rather than just the legalities of this difficult area. Our Sydney team aims to settle your matter quickly and efficiently, minimising the emotional impact, while optimising the financial outcome.

A Smarter, Flexible Way to Fund Your Family Law Matter

We understand that when you’re navigating a separation or relationship property matter, the financial strain can sometimes stand in the way of getting the legal support you need. That’s why we’ve partnered with JustFund – Australia’s only dedicated provider of flexible funding solutions for family law legal fees.

Through this partnership, eligible clients can access a flexible line of credit to cover legal fees and expenses related to separation or relationship property proceedings. You don’t have to repay the loan until you reach a settlement, which we hope reduces the stress associated with paying costs upfront.
