3. Navigate The Law
An aeroplane pilot navigates the skies. A ship’s captain navigates the seas. Unless you have a pilot’s licence, perhaps you do not fly yourself off on an exotic holiday. Unless you can navigate the seas, perhaps you do not take off on a voyage across rough oceans.
When you are going through the turbulent seas of life, or if you are in the eye of a legal storm life, then it is a lawyer who navigates the law.
More specifically, when it is a family law matter that you want to resolve, it is an experienced, responsive family lawyer that you need to navigate the law, so that you have a learned legal expert on your team.
4. Healthy Distance
Your family lawyer can assist you to see your options clearly because they know what your likely legal options might be in your circumstances and because they are not caught up in the sometimes intense emotions that accompany family law matters.
High emotions can make decision making difficult or even impossible. It is understandable – and perfectly normal to feel intensely emotional if you are making decisions that affect your children, or you feel you have been treated unjustly by your former partner. Your family lawyer can help you to resolve you matters without being tangled up in the raw emotion of your situation.
Lawyers are trained to consider your unique circumstances and your view and to represent you and provide you with their legal services, while remaining focused on your interests and the law.
They will focus on the facts of your case and the outcomes that you want and will seek out appropriate solutions and options for you in your situation. This means that you family matter may resolve more easily and more quickly – and with less stress.

5. Save You Time
A family lawyer is familiar with the sorts of circumstances you are facing, and they are familiar with the law. A family lawyer knows the ins and outs of the relevant legislation, caselaw, rules and regulations. In a practical sense, a family lawyer is used to writing letters, drafting agreements, reading lengthy documents and is used to accessing the Commonwealth Courts Portal.
Documents, legal procedures and rules can be confusing, tricky and unwieldy if you are trying to manage your family matter yourself. If you make mistakes simply because you did not know the correct form, procedure or rule to apply, you situation could take far longer to resolve that it needs to.
When you have a family lawyer on your team, you can rest assured that the correct processes and procedures will be followed so that your matter resolves with certainty and finality – and as quickly as possible in your circumstances.
