Family Law
At Dellios West & Co, we understand that the breakdown of a marriage or de facto relationship is a difficult time for you and your family both emotionally and financially. Having the right legal support is essential when dealing with a separation, and we will guide you with assurance and confidence to enforce your rights, protect your assets, and achieve a fair and successful outcome for you. We provide advice across all aspects of family law, and we will approach your matter with empathy, sensitivity, and patience in our commitment to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
Financial Agreements
Financial Agreements can greatly reduce the financial uncertainty and stress which can surround the end of a marriage or de facto relationship.
Whether you wish to do so before, during, or after your marriage or de facto relationship, entering into a Financial Agreement can allow you and your former partner to formalise your arrangement on how assets and liabilities will be divided if or when your marriage or de facto relationship breaks down.
We are dedicated to offering you practical and tailored advice to provide you with clarity regarding your legal rights and entitlements, and help you feel secure knowing that your assets and financial resources are protected, all while avoiding the additional cost and stress of going to court.
Family Law Proceedings and Property Settlements
We recognise that not all matters can be resolved outside of the court. Dellios West & Co will guide you in commencing or defending proceedings in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
Our team are experienced in navigating the court system and specialise in addressing the complexities that are inherent to court proceedings. We will provide you with effective advice and strategic support through each stage of dispute resolution to achieve an efficient and cost-effective resolution of your matter.

Separation and Divorce
Divorce gives you an opportunity to move on from your marriage after it has irretrievably broken down, and help you embrace your next chapter in life. If you are seeking to make a divorce application or are unsure whether you are eligible to apply for a divorce, our team will help you satisfy the requirements for obtaining a divorce order.

We keep the health and welfare of your children at the forefront, and adopt a forward-thinking attitude to ensure that the best interests of your children are continuously met throughout each stage of their lives.
Family Violence Intervention Orders
We acknowledge that, unfortunately, family and domestic violence is a serious issue that can affect many individuals, families, and children. We recognise the sensitive and often urgent nature of Family Violence Intervention Orders.
If you are an affected family member who has obtained a family violence intervention order, we will provide you with the guidance and protection that is essential to ensure your and your family’s safety and rights remain paramount throughout your proceedings.
If you have had an intervention order made against you, we will represent you every step of the way and help you get your life back on track as quickly as possible.
