Divorce & Property Settlements
Divorce is the legal dissolution of marriage. The only ground of divorce is for there to be an ‘irretrievable breakdown of marriage’. This means that the court will not consider the reason or reasons for the divorce, as it is a no fault jurisdiction.

Parenting Orders & Parental Responsibility
Parenting arrangements can often be the most stressful aspects to consider when there’s a breakdown of a marriage or de-facto relationship.
Binding Financial Agreements - Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Binding Financial Agreements (BFA) are documents made between de facto or married couples to settle financial matters privately.
Same - Sex Family Law
Barker Evans recognises that families come in all different shapes and sizes.
For rainbow families, it is often important that their lawyers understand them and their family structure. We proudly assist LGBTQIA+ families for all their family law needs.
Spousal Maintenance & Child Support
Spousal and de facto maintenance is financial support provided by one party of a relationship to the other after separation or divorce. The primary function of maintenance payments is to ensure that either party maintains their standard of living after the relationship breakdown.
Care & Protection / Children’s Court
Care and protection matters involve deciding the safety, welfare and well-being of children in the Children’s Court.
Adoption, IVF and Surrogacy
Adoption is a process that provides individuals and partners including same-sex couples the opportunity to become legal parents to a child who is not biologically related to them.
International Family Law (Relocation & Hague Convention)
In today’s society, it is not uncommon for families to create a life on either side of the world. At Barker Evans, we recognise that people want freedom to move overseas at certain points in their lives.
Domestic / Family Violence and ADVOs
Domestic Violence offences are dealt with under the Crimes Domestic and Personal Violence Act 2007 (‘the act’).
Wills, Power of Attorney & Enduring Guardianship
At Barker Evans, we recognize the importance of ensuring your well-being and care, even in unforeseen circumstances. Our skilled team specialise in drafting Enduring Guardianship documents that protect your interests and provide peace of mind.
Negotiation
Negotiation is the most straightforward way of resolving a family law dispute. Here you and your ex-partner, with our assistance, resolve your dispute by entering a discussion where both parties can enter a mutually agreeable outcome.
Mediation
Mediation is a dispute resolution process where parties involved in a dispute are assisted by an independent third party, a “mediator” to help them reach an agreement. If an agreement is made between the parties through mediation, these agreements can be formalised by the Court.
Collaborative Practice
Collaborative Practice involves both parties coming together, assisted by legal representation, to arrive at the best solution for both parties. Unlike litigation or mediation, Collaborative Practice enables you and your ex-partner to resolve your issues in a non-adversarial way, outside of the Court.
Arbitration
Arbitration is a dispute resolution process similar to mediation, where parties to a financial dispute present arguments and evidence to an independent arbitrator, selected by the parties, who then make a determination resolving the dispute.
Litigation
Litigation refers to having your parenting or property dispute being decided by a Judge or Judicial Registrar of the Court. This approach to Family Law disputes is straining, both financially and emotionally.
The family law team at Barker Evans will guide you through the process, taking the time to understand your unique circumstances and assets.
