Questions from Shelly Beach clients
It is approximately 2 to 3 kilometres, or a 5-minute drive, depending on which part of Shelly Beach you are coming from.
Yes. While we are local to the southern Sunshine Coast, we represent clients in courts across Queensland and in the federal family law courts.
Not necessarily. Many family law and personal injury matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation without ever needing a final court hearing.
[CONFIRM CONSULT OFFER.] We will discuss our fee structure clearly before you commit to any ongoing work.
Yes. If you have been served with court documents, it is important to seek legal advice immediately as there are strict deadlines for filing a response.
The law now uses terms like “parental responsibility” and “live with/spend time with” rather than “custody” and “access,” focusing on the rights of the child rather than the rights of the parents.
