Get Early Legal Advice to Avoid Bitter Family Law Disputes

We all have occasion to disagree with others either at work, in friendships or other social and community interactions, but most of the time, we are able to resolve these disagreements, if not completely amicably, at least to the extent that we can still associate with the person or persons involved. Sadly, this is often not what happens in family disputes, which can quickly escalate into open warfare with neither side wanting to give ground.

If you or someone you know is in an untenable position in a family dispute, the best option is to seek legal advice as quickly as possible. Many people lose out in these situations because the emotional entanglements are more difficult to deal with than the legal ones. They become angry, hurt and frustrated and these feelings often boil over with serious and sometimes tragic results. Getting the assistance of a legal professional immediately it becomes obvious that there will be no easy solution can avoid all these issues.

ABC Legal is a firm of family lawyers Sydney with a reputation for brokering solutions in family law matters. Their expert legal people can firstly seek mediation and alternative dispute resolution if the parties are agreeable. Sometimes the intervention of an objective third person can crystallise the issues and remove the emotion, allowing the parties to clearly see the likely end result if the matter goes to court.

“My ex-partner was having a lot of trouble moving on after I ended our relationship, and it was becoming more confronting and nasty. I wasn’t prepared to back down either, as there was valuable property involved, so I contacted ABC Legal. They were recommended by a friend, and honestly, I don’t think I would be where I am now without their efforts at mediation. We finally came to an agreement without going to court, and we have both moved on,” said Tansy V.

There are many occasions where mediation is not welcome and it is in these situations where ABC Legal is absolutely outstanding in their knowledge of family law. From de-facto relationship issues to financial agreements and matrimonial property settlements, often involving substantial assets held in complex company and trust arrangements, 
ABC Legal has the skills and professionalism necessary to prepare their clients’ for the Family Court hearings.

“My wife and I started our business from scratch 25 years ago, but as it became more successful, we started having personal problems. By the time we accepted that the relationship was beyond repair, we had two business ventures employing 35 people, several investment properties, a swag of share holdings and other assets. ABC Legal represented me in Court and I walked away with what was fair and reasonable. I think without their expertise, it could have been much worse,” said Vernon T.

ABC Legal’s skills are not confined solely to domestic family law disputes. Interstate and international family law matters are also dealt with and include child support, contravention of orders, divorce applications and annulment of marriage. Some of these matters involve cultural differences and cultural sensitivity, and it is here that Hamid’s experience and training, both as an accountant and a barrister, prove absolutely invaluable to his clients.

“In my culture it is rare to go against the wishes of your family, but I felt I had no other choice. Hamid gave me information and legal advice, but he also understood how difficult this was for me. I felt supported through the whole legal process. I am now making my own decisions and hoping my family will eventually support my choices,” said Nabihah M.

Regardless of the type of family dispute you are currently dealing with, contact ABC Legal and make an appointment to see their legal specialists. Don’t let the issue drag on as this will only cause further animosity. Get it sorted, get an outcome and leave the family conflicts behind you.
