How much will it cost to engage a family lawyer?
The fees of family lawyers in Sydney can vary depending on the specific requirements of each case. At Maatouks Law Firm, our lawyers are experts in family law and can resolve your issues to ensure you receive what is rightfully yours. We also provide support throughout the process, helping you navigate the emotional challenges of separation. Best of all, we offer free telephone consultations to assist you from the outset.
Do I need to have a lawyer, or can I represent myself?
In divorce proceedings, hiring a lawyer can be a wise decision. However, you may also choose to represent yourself, depending on the complexity of your case. It is advisable to hire a lawyer when children are involved, when you are unsure of your entitlements, if domestic violence is a factor, if there may be disputes over property division, or if your partner has hired a lawyer. You may also consider hiring a lawyer if you are not emotionally prepared to handle the legal aspects of your separation or divorce. Overall, engaging a family lawyer will work in your best interests, especially if the case is complicated.
How long will it take to finalise my family matter?
The time taken could vary from case to case. Generally, legal family law cases have several orders and court listings like the Consent Order, interim hearings, urgent interim hearings, extremely urgent hearings, final orders and appeals. The Consent Order could be processed anywhere between seven to 21 days while the interim hearings could take six to 10 weeks. Whereas the urgent hearings are listed within a time frame of seven to 14 days, the extremely urgent hearings are listed on the same day. The final orders are processed around 18 to 24 months from the date of filing.
What is the difference between mediation and going to court?
Mediation is a process where both parties work with a neutral mediator โ such as Peter Maatouk โ to reach an agreement outside of court. It is generally faster, less expensive and less adversarial than court proceedings. Not all matters can be resolved through mediation, but it is often the preferred first step.
What is a Binding Financial Agreement?
A Binding Financial Agreement is a legal document that outlines how assets and finances will be divided if a relationship breaks down. It must be drafted correctly to be enforceable. Maatouks Law Group can advise and prepare these agreements for couples at any stage of a relationship.
What is a Consent Order?
A Consent Order is a formal court order that records an agreement reached between separating parties on financial and parenting matters. Once made by the Family Court, it is legally binding on both parties.

Maatouks Law Group has four Sydney locations โ Liverpool, Narellan, Penrith and Sydney CBD. Free phone consultations are also available if you prefer to speak with us remotely first.
