Going to Court can be expensive and stressful — this is why we focus on non-toxic family law resolutions.
When you reach out to us, our team is ready to help you through every step of the process. Unlike many other family lawyers, we aim to work with you rather than against you to resolve your matter.
So when you contact us, we will:
Conduct an initial 15 minute telephone “Discovery Call”, which will be with an experienced and senior family lawyer who will take the time to get to know you and your situation to ensure that our non-toxic approach to family law resolutions is a good fit for your circumstances;
Schedule a 1 hour “Strategy Session'“ initial consultation should you decide to go ahead with us. From here, we will arrange for an in-person consult at one of our offices or, if more convenient to you, a video conference to go over your matter in detail. If you are coming to us with an agreement already reached that you want formalised, then we will take those instructions from you during this consult. Your expert family lawyer will also be able to provide you with tailored advice and guidance, and run you through the process. Please also bring along any questions you have!
If your family law matter is more complex, we will discuss alternative options with you so that you know exactly where you stand.

A non-toxic approach to family law focuses on collaboration, communication, and reasonability above adversarial tactics and unnecessary Court litigation. By adopting a non-toxic approach to family law, our lawyers can help you navigate the complexities of family law while minimising the emotional and financial toll on all parties involved. Our non-toxic approach is suitable for both parenting and financial matters.

How can our family lawyers help with your separation?
As family law matters are often emotionally charged and complex, retaining a lawyer helps protect your rights and interests while also making sure that any agreement reached is both legally sound and enforceable. At Legal Arch, we provide valuable legal advice and guidance throughout any required negotiation and when drafting any agreements. This ensures that the necessary legal requirements are met while also reducing the risk of future disputes or challenges. Without legal assistance, it’s not uncommon that important legal considerations can be overlooked that end up leaving separating parties vulnerable to potential legal concerns in the future.
Parties who retain family lawyers are more likely to reach amicable settlements, resulting in a reduction in the chances that the parties will need to make lengthy and expensive Court applications. Statistics generally indicate that about 80% of family law cases involving legal representation achieve successful out-of-court settlements, whereas only 50% of cases are settled without Court application where parties decide to represent themselves. This important statistic highlights the real impact that legal representation can have in facilitating smoother and more efficient resolutions. Ultimately, the expertise provided by a lawyer can be instrumental in safeguarding your interest in a family law separation, promoting fair and comprehensive agreements, and minimising the likelihood of costly and protracted Court litigation.

NB: Statistics are generalised, and each matter depends on the facts of that particular case and the willingness of the parties to negotiate and engage. The expertise, advice, guidance, and non-toxic resolution focus of the legal practitioner is also an important factor to consider in achieving a resolution without the need for Court litigation.
