Working Closely With You
Family breakdown can be a painful and exhausting experience. Emotions often run high and misunderstandings can easily occur, particularly where children are involved. The whole area of Family Law can seem endlessly confusing and complex.
At Kennedy Spanner Lawyers, we understand how difficult family law issues can be. That's why our experienced team will work closely with you to identify the most important issues and ensure family disputes are brought to a prompt resolution.
When Experience Counts
Our clients from Brisbane and beyond, recognise that when a family break down occurs, it is important to have an experienced family law solicitor on your side.
It is critical in family law disputes to assess your strengths and weaknesses early, then formulate a strategic plan. In some property cases there will be an urgent need to restrain your ex partner from disposing of assets. Such family court applications must be made quickly and be drafted carefully to maximise your prospects of success.
If the dispute relates to the welfare of a child, there are occasions where urgent family law orders must be sought without delay. That said, unless there is an urgent issue relating to the safety of your child, we will explore all alternative dispute resolution options with you in the hope that an amicable family law resolution can be reached with a minimum of stress and expense.

Using our specialist skills and experience, whether the case is a multi-million dollar property case or a home and contents property case, we bring to each the same level of understanding and skill in order to promptly resolve the matter with the minimum of stress and legal cost to our client.
Our clients recognise, when you have a lot at stake, you need an expert on your side. We recommend that you seek family law advice from one of our experienced team at the earliest opportunity. The earlier you understand the process and the potential issues impacting upon your particular family separation, the better prepared you are and the more likely it is that you will achieve a favourable outcome.
Deferral of Legal Costs
We understand that in some cases, it is difficult for you to pay for the legal fees until an agreement is reached or until Court Orders are made.
Talk to us about deferred payment of legal costs until finalisation of your matter.
