General information
Gil Lam-Hing assists with separation and divorce, parenting arrangements, property settlements, spousal maintenance, family violence matters, intervention orders and binding financial agreements. Each matter is assessed individually because the relevant process, evidence and priorities depend on the family’s circumstances.
02What should I prepare for a family law consultation?
General information
Prepare a short timeline, details of any urgent safety or court issues, existing orders or agreements, upcoming dates and the main outcome you need help understanding.
