Located at Terrigal on the NSW Central Coast, close to both Gosford and Erina, we are family lawyers dedicated to assisting separating and divorcing couples across the Central Coast, Newcastle and Sydney who wish to protect their families from conflict and prolonged argument, and maintain and build financial security by reaching amicable solutions that work for them and their families.
Common Concerns Experienced During Separation and Divorce
When a relationship ends, many people feel overwhelmed.
Financial stresses, fear, grief, anger and anxiety are all normal feelings experienced. Emotions are heightened and conflict can quickly escalate.
Family Court proceedings may seem inevitable. We know that going to Court, more often than not, leads to greater uncertainty, delay, escalating costs, a further break-down of relationships; and a Court-imposed result which satisfies neither of the people involved nor their children.
An Opportunity for Fresh Beginnings
We understand that separation and divorce are emotionally and financially draining, but you do have a choice. The process does not have to be bitter, malicious or degrading.
Separation can lead to new, healthier relationships based on mutual respect and dignity.
When you and your former spouse choose not to go to Court you can:
- Regain control, reflect and adjust positively to your new circumstances
- Protect your children from being exposed to psychologically-damaging family conflict
- Tailor an outcome together that suits both of your needs and the needs of your children
- Create greater financial certainty for you and your family
- Develop positive relationships so that you and your former spouse can effectively co-parent your children together into the future
Dispute Resolution Options provided by Catalyst Family Lawyers:
We can assist you to reach solutions that work for you, your former spouse and your family through constructive interest based negotiation processes involving:
Assists separating and divorcing couples reach agreement with the assistance of their lawyers in a private, dignified manner without the threat of going to Court.
Assists separating and divorcing couples reach agreement with the assistance of an independent, neutral third-party mediator.
Separating and divorcing couples retain lawyers to negotiate on their behalf.
We don’t believe going to Court will solve your Family dispute. In fact, we actively discourage litigation. However, should you find yourself involved in Court proceedings, we will provide the advice, support and assistance necessary to make the process as smooth as possible for you and your family.
