Services
Free initial consultation
Divorce is intensely personal.
It’s crucial that you find a divorce lawyer in Melbourne who understands your needs, and who you’re comfortable confiding in.
Your initial consultation with CBD Family Lawyers is free-of-charge, and you won’t be obliged to use our services. In addition to mapping out how your matter can be resolved, this also allows you to determine whether we’re the right team for you.
Fixed-fee divorce
One of the most stressful parts of divorcing is not knowing how your financial situation will be impacted. “Will I have enough money to live on my own?”
During the divorce process, every little bit of security and reassurance can make a world of difference. That’s why we offer fixed fee divorce – at least you won’t have to worry about legal fees spiralling out of control.
Divorce lawyers you can understand
The last thing you need during a time as sensitive as a divorce is complex legal jargon muddying the waters.
Your future should be something that you’re in the driver’s seat for. And you can’t do that if you can’t understand what’s happening. Our divorce lawyers in Melbourne speak in plain English, allowing you to make the best decision for your future.


Applying for a divorce: everything you need to know
Divorce can be a major turning point in your life, as well as the lives of all parties directly involved. If you ask us however, it shouldn’t mean big, sweeping changes for your family.
As much as possible, we focus on keeping both parties’ finances and circumstances stable following a divorce – our focus is on allowing you to regain your independence and move on with your life, while also being present to care for your children.
More than just divorce applications
In many cases, the dissolution of the marriage itself is straightforward – it’s what comes afterwards that causes stress
The major point of contention in divorce cases often comes afterwards, as you and your spouse decide what happens to your wealth, assets, property, and children.
The right divorce lawyer can be the difference between being present to raise your children and living independently, and leaving your marriage unhappy and without financial stability.
As trained mediators, our team can help both you and your spouse come to a solution that allows both parties to start the next chapters of their lives, without the financial strain and vitriol that often comes with litigation.
A divorce lawyer will work with you and your partner to ensure that both of you are left in positions that allow you to live a happy and independent life.
