Family lawyers in Melbourne
Family matters hit home, and need to be treated with due care and respect
We specialise in providing practical advice and solutions that account for your circumstances, delivered with integrity and honesty.
While it’s possible to handle your affairs on your own, this can be challenging and add even further strain to what’s already an extremely stressful and emotionally charged time.
Areas of expertise
Our team of family solicitors provide qualified advice for all areas of family law and de facto relationships, including:

We’ll fight on your behalf

The law is complicated. We do our best to
change that.
You’ve worked your hardest to be amicable. You’ve compromised and negotiated. You’ve upheld your end of the bargain.
Despite that, your partner isn’t giving.
Or worse, they’re taking you to court, despite you doing everything right on
your end.
Our team is committed to upholding your legal rights and ensuring that you receive a favourable outcome. If it comes down to a court case, we will fight on your behalf and ensure that you aren’t punished for being the bigger person.
We won’t just represent you – our team translates the law into plain English, providing actionable advice and giving you the power to make the best possible calls regarding your case.
Do right by your family

No area of law requires as much sensitivity, tact, and careful consideration of the rights of each party as family law.
Family law cases are especially difficult, stressful, and come with immense emotional strain.
An approach that’s too adversarial can burn bridges permanently – while you may “win” today, in the long run, you could be doing more damage than necessary.
Unfortunately, many family lawyers focus solely on the numbers and the facts, completely overlooking the emotional toll your circumstances are placing on you.
CBD Family Lawyers aims to change this.
Our philosophy towards family law is centred around damage minimisation.
Wherever possible, we will work to ensure that you receive an outcome that leaves the minimal financial and emotional scars behind – especially if children are involved.
