Divorce Matters

Binding Financial Agreements
Whether the matter involves divorce, financial arrangements, or parenting concerns, the firm applies a considered and strategic approach to achieve timely and effective outcomes.
Ters Legal’s family law team is particularly experienced in handling divorce matters for high-achieving professionals and business owners who require both legal clarity and emotional discretion. As trusted advisors in Sydney’s family law space, the firm works closely with clients to simplify complex property settlement negotiations and ensure that entitlements are preserved and fairly apportioned.
Recognising that family law often intersects with financial planning, Ters Legal also advises clients on spousal maintenance rights and obligations. The firm helps individuals understand the legal thresholds for financial dependency and supports both applicants and respondents in reaching sustainable, future-focused outcomes. These matters are approached with sensitivity and commercial awareness, particularly where there are significant assets or ongoing financial commitments involved.
In family law, few issues are more important than children’s matters. Ters Legal adopts a child-focused and solutions-driven approach to parenting arrangements, always aiming to prioritise the best interests of the child. Whether assisting with parenting plans, relocation disputes, or shared custody, the team is well-versed in the legal frameworks governing children’s matters and has represented clients in both mediated agreements and formal court proceedings.
Complementing this is the firm's practical experience in resolving child support matters. Whether seeking or contesting child support assessments, Ters Legal guides clients through the relevant provisions of the Child Support (Assessment) Act, offering clarity around income capacity, support obligations, and the implications of parenting time.
The firm also provides comprehensive guidance on binding financial agreements, including pre-nuptial, post-nuptial, and cohabitation agreements. These agreements are especially valuable for clients with personal businesses, family trusts, or intergenerational wealth. As part of their integrated family law service, Ters Legal ensures that binding financial agreements are drafted with foresight and precision, minimising the potential for future disputes.
While the firm emphasises alternative dispute resolution through negotiation, mediation, and collaborative processes, it recognises that court intervention is sometimes necessary. In such instances, clients benefit from legal representation that is calm, clear, and compelling.
For professionals, executives, and individuals seeking discreet and intelligent family law advice, Ters Legal offers a highly capable team grounded in trust, integrity, and results.

DIVORCE LAW
A divorce application can only be filed once a married couple have been separated for 12 months.
This is regarded as a sufficient amount of time to demonstrate the likelihood of the couple not reconciling. Although living apart typically denotes that a couple has separate residences, it is possible to be ‘separated under one roof’.
It is important to be aware that couples who have been married for less than two years are legally required to attend counselling before they are able to file for divorce. However, in some instances, such as whether there has been domestic violence, this requirement may not be applicable.
