Family & Divorce Law FAQs in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
How many family lawyers are there in Canberra?
We list 75. Most (48) are in Canberra. The rest are spread across Deakin, Braddon and other suburbs.
Which family lawyers in Canberra have the best reviews?
Farrar Gesini Dunn leads our ranking with 4.9 from 176 Google reviews. NatLaw and BDN Lawyers are next. We weigh how many reviews a firm has as well as its score, so one perfect review can't top the list.
How do clients rate family lawyers in Canberra?
Pretty well. 43 of the 67 rated firms hold 4.5 stars or better. The average is 4.5.
How is property divided after a separation in Australia?
There is no automatic 50/50 split. The court considers each party's contributions, future needs and what is just and equitable in the circumstances. A family lawyer can give you a realistic range based on your situation.
Do we have to go to court to sort out parenting?
No. Most families reach agreement through negotiation or mediation and formalise it with consent orders or a parenting plan. Court is generally a last resort when agreement cannot be reached or there are safety concerns.
How long do I have to wait to get divorced?
You must be separated for at least 12 months before applying for a divorce. Property and parenting matters can be resolved before or after the divorce itself and are handled separately.
