Our Family Law System highlights the assessment of financial contributions, non-financial contributions and any entitlements. Many of these complex matters hinge on their own circumstances. You should also be aware that there is a time limit on any applications to the court for property settlements of 12 months after the divorce order.

The Queensland Government Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services has a broad range of powers relating to the enforcement of child safety legislation. Where they suspect that your child is being abused, child safety officers can intervene either through voluntary assessment care agreements, through removing the child from your care, or by filing an assessment or child protection order. If child safety officers begin an investigation into your family, it is strongly advised that you engage legal representation as soon as possible.
