Are you not getting enough or paying too much in spousal support? Talk to our team today
If you are considering separating from your spouse, or have already done so, you may be entitled to spousal maintenance. Spousal maintenance is financial support that is paid by one spouse to the other and is used to help maintain the standard of living that was enjoyed during the marriage.
The amount of spousal maintenance that is payable will depend on a number of factors, including the needs of the spouse and the ability of the other spouse to pay. Maintenance is not always payable, and it is not always payable for life.
ABMS Lawyers are experienced in all aspects of spousal maintenance and can provide you with practical advice and assistance. We can help you to reach an agreement with your spouse about maintenance, and make sure that the payments are made.

Do you need orders put in place or to update orders regarding parental responsibility?
The Family Law Act stipulates the best interests of the child as the most important consideration when deciding on a child’s living arrangements to be made when parents separate. In most cases, it is in the best interests of the child to spend equal time with both parents.
What is Parental Responsibility?
If you and your partner have recently separated or you are thinking about separating and you have children, there are several decisions you need to make to ensure your children’s welfare is not at risk. This includes:
The Best interests of the child is the most important factor to be considered when making decisions regarding children. It is in a child’s best interests that:
It is also in a child’s best interests that their parents cooperate with each other and communicate openly to resolve any differences they may have regarding the care of their children. If parents cannot agree on parenting arrangements, then they may need to seek the assistance of a family law mediation service or through the Court process.
Not sure if you qualify for a Defacto separation? – Talk to our team today.
We can advise you on what constitutes a de facto relationship in the eyes of the law and your rights with respect to property, maintenance and children in the event of a relationship breakdown.
A de facto relationship is defined by the Family Law Act as a couple who are not married but live together on a genuine domestic basis. In order to be considered to be in a de facto relationship, you must have lived together for at least two years or had a child together.
A couple can be of the same or opposite sex and does not need to have registered their relationship with the state or territory in which they live.
De facto relationships are treated similarly to marriages under Australian law, which means that couples who separate after living together in a de facto relationship have the same property rights as married couples. This includes the right to seek a property settlement from the Court.
De facto couples also have the same maintenance rights as married couples, which means that they can seek financial support from their former partner if they are unable to support themselves financially.
Finally, de facto couples also have the same parental responsibility rights as married couples with respect to their children. This means that they can both make decisions about their children’s education, healthcare and welfare.
If you are in a de facto relationship and are thinking about separating, then you should contact us to discuss your legal rights and options. We can assist you with negotiating a property settlement and applying for maintenance, as well as advise you on your parental responsibility rights.

Need to understand how to divide your estate in your will or in a separation?
Have you wondered what happens to you and your assets in the event that you are severely ill or incapacitated, for example, if you fall into a coma or suffer from a brain injury, or if you die?
It is important to have a valid Will in place so that your assets can be distributed in accordance with your wishes in the event of your death. If you do not have a Will, then your assets will be distributed in accordance with the rules of intestacy, which may not be what you would have wanted.
The average Australian today has a much more complex financial arrangement than in decades past. In addition to the family home, car and bank accounts, it is now common for people to have:
It is therefore even more important to have a valid Will so that your assets can be distributed in accordance with your wishes.
We can also assist you with estate planning in the event that you become incapacitated. We can draft documents such as enduring powers of attorney and advance health directives so that your finances and healthcare can be managed in accordance with your wishes if you are unable to do so yourself.
If you need assistance with estate planning, then contact us today. We can provide you with the advice and assistance you need to ensure that your assets are protected and that your wishes are carried out.
Do you have a Will?
Do you need to update your Will?
At ABMS Lawyers, we can assist you with drafting a Will that takes into account your unique circumstances and ensures that your assets are distributed in accordance with your wishes. We can also assist you with setting up trusts, which can be used to protect your assets from creditors or from being distributed in accordance with the rules of intestacy.
If you already have a Will, then you should review it regularly to ensure that it still reflects your wishes. This is especially important if you have had a change in your circumstances, such as getting married, having children or buying a property.
We are receiving an ever-increasing number of requests for assistance from clients wishing to challenge a will. This includes clients having problems with trusts, whether they be executors, trustees or beneficiaries.
There are a number of reasons why people may want to challenge a will, including:
If you have been left out of a will or if you are not happy with the provision that has been made for you, then contact us today to discuss your options. We can help you to understand the process for challenging a will and we can assist you with making a claim.
We understand that contesting a will can be a difficult and emotional time, but we can provide you with the support and guidance you need to get through it.
