Services Offered by Coonan & Coonan Legal
We provide a range of services to support families navigating separation, divorce, and relationship issues. Our services include:
- Joint Divorce: A joint divorce application involves both you and your spouse agreeing to prepare and file a joint application together. This eliminates the need for either spouse to be served with the application.
- Sole Divorce: In situations where one spouse applies for a divorce without the consent of the other spouse, we can assist with this process.
- Consent Orders: If you and your spouse have reached an agreement regarding parenting arrangements, property distribution, or spousal maintenance, we can assist with preparing and filing Consent Orders.
- Parenting Orders: Our lawyers can guide you through the process of preparing and filing parenting orders, which define who the child lives with, spends time with, and parental responsibility.
- Property Orders: In all family law financial cases, our lawyers will help you navigate the four-step process to determine family law property settlements.
- Family Dispute Resolution: We offer an efficient and effective solution to resolving family law matters through family dispute resolution, a prerequisite to applying for parenting orders.
- Parenting Plans: A private and voluntary agreement, a parenting plan outlines parenting arrangements without being legally binding.
- Spousal Maintenance: In situations where one spouse requires financial support to maintain their standard of living, our lawyers can assist with applying for spousal maintenance.
