If you're representing yourself

Going to family court without a lawyer can feel like a world that isn't built for you.

You may feel overwhelmed. Confused by legal jargon. Unsure if you can afford a lawyer — or what happens if you can't. Scared that one wrong move could affect your children.

The truth is: many Australians represent themselves in family law matters, and you can do it well. What you need is someone who has been on the inside to hand you the map.

“Our mission is simple: give you the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to advocate for yourself effectively in your family law matter.”
