Rochelle Belcher Family Lawyers operate under the belief that "family comes first". This work ethic is especially demonstrated in our relationships with our family law clients. We believe in "family first" for our clients as well as our staff, something that isn't necessarily the norm with most Australian family lawyers.

We provide a range of legal services, including Family Law, Wills and Probate, Divorce, Conveyancing, and Arrangements for the care of children. Our aim is to see every client receive the service that fits their needs best.

Family Law

At Rochelle Belcher Family Lawyers, we understand that family law issues can be emotionally charged and complex. We take a compassionate and understanding approach while still maintaining a good eye for the legal aspects. We are passionate about ensuring the right thing is done for our clients, and we have experience handling some of the most complicated family law cases.

Our family law services include Property Settlement, Parenting and children's issues, Divorce, and Financial Agreements. We are committed to providing our clients with the best possible outcome in their family law matters.

Wills and Probate

Your Will is one of the most important documents you will ever sign. Therefore, it is essential to make sure it is done correctly and reflects your wishes. At Rochelle Belcher Lawyers, we can help you draft a Will that accurately reflects your wishes and provides for your loved ones.

Administration of Estates can occur at an emotional and difficult time. Disputes and arguments over Wills and Estates can be very traumatic as they involve disputes between family members. We are mindful of the need to keep costs, distress, and delays to a minimum.

Wills and Estate planning make sure that the transfer of an estate to another generation is done so that the greatest amount of the estate is passed on, minimizing taxes and the involvement of the courts. Our aim is to see every adult Australian with a current, tax-effective Will.

Divorce

Divorce is a legal process that ends a marriage. The only ground for divorce in Australia is the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, which is demonstrated by a separation of 12 months or more.

An application for divorce may be made by one party or by both parties jointly. In order for a divorce to be granted, the court must be satisfied that the parties separated more than 12 months prior to the application.

At Rochelle Belcher Lawyers, we can help you navigate the divorce process with compassion and understanding. We are committed to providing our clients with the best possible outcome in their divorce matters.

Conveyancing

Conveyancing is the process of transferring ownership of real property from one party to another. At Rochelle Belcher Lawyers, we can help you with all aspects of conveyancing, from the initial contract review to the final settlement.

Whether you are buying or selling property, our experienced conveyancing team can help you ensure a smooth and stress-free transaction.

Arrangements for the care of children

At Rochelle Belcher Lawyers, we understand that the most important thing in any separation or divorce is the welfare of any children involved. We are committed to helping our clients reach agreements that are in the best interests of their children.

We can help you negotiate arrangements for the care of your children, including parenting plans, custody agreements, and child support arrangements.
