Parenting Arrangements
At Johnson Family Law, we understand that parenting arrangements are often the most sensitive aspect of family law matters.
Whether through negotiation, mediation, or court, our goal is to help you establish clear and sustainable parenting arrangements for your family’s unique situation, focusing on the best interests of your children.
Property Matters
Navigating property division after separation or divorce can be complex and emotionally challenging. At Johnson Family Law, we provide clear, practical legal advice to guide you through your property settlement. Whether the matter involves real estate, superannuation, businesses, or other assets, we work with you to pursue the best commercial outcome for your circumstances. Our approach is grounded in negotiation wherever possible and, when required, effective advocacy through court proceedings, with a focus on achieving the best possible resolution.
Child Support
Managing child support arrangements after separation can be challenging and often confusing. At Johnson Family Law, we provide clear advice on how child support is calculated and the factors that may influence an assessment. Our team also assists with preparing and responding to child support applications and reviews, and can help parents enter into binding child support agreements.
Mediation
Mediation is an effective way to resolve family disputes without going to court. At Johnson Family Law, we offer professional mediation services to help families reach mutually agreeable solutions. Our principal solicitor, Fiona Johnson, is a qualified Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, ensuring that mediation is conducted in a fair, impartial, and constructive manner. Mediation can save time, reduce costs, and preserve relationships, making it an ideal option for many families facing legal disputes, in line with the Family Law Act’s preference for resolving disputes outside of court.
Divorce
The process of applying for a divorce can feel overwhelming, and at Johnson Family Law, we can guide you through the process with clear and practical advice. We assist with preparing and lodging your divorce application and explain how the divorce may affect other family law matters, such as property settlement or parenting arrangements. Our focus is on making the process as straightforward as possible, ensuring you understand the implications and what to expect as you move forward.
Parenting Coordination
Parenting coordination is a specialised service that supports separated parents in strengthening their co-parenting relationship. At Johnson Family Law, our parenting coordinator, Fiona, works with both parents to improve communication, reduce conflict, and assist in implementing their parenting orders or agreements. The aim of parenting coordination is to help parents resolve issues constructively and avoid the need for further court involvement.
Consent Orders
Consent Orders provide a way for separating couples to formalise their agreement about parenting arrangements or property and financial matters without the need to attend court. Once approved by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, Consent Orders are legally binding and offer certainty and peace of mind for the future.
At Johnson Family Law and Mediation, we assist clients by carefully preparing and lodging Consent Orders that accurately reflect their agreement and comply with legal requirements. Fiona ensures that all arrangements are fair, practical, and in your best interests - helping you secure a clear and enforceable outcome while avoiding unnecessary conflict, stress, and legal expense.
