How we work on cross-border matters
Jurisdiction first, then strategy, then the paperwork in the right order.
We begin by working out where you, your former partner, your children and your assets are, and which country's courts should hear the matter. That decision shapes everything else. We then gather the documents that matter across borders, marriage and birth certificates, existing orders, any financial agreements, and where needed we work alongside lawyers in the other country so that what's done here complies there.
For child abduction matters we move immediately, liaising with the Australian Central Authority and representing you in court. Wherever possible we look for a negotiated or mediated resolution before litigation in two countries becomes necessary.
