Why do you need experienced divorce lawyers Perth?

There is a vast amount of material available on the internet in relation to family law in Australia. Hours can be spent searching the internet to understand the practices and procedures of the family courts. All of the legislation that governs family law in Australia is freely available on the internet at a number of sources. The absence of information about family law is not the problem. The problem is understanding how family law applies to your case. Only experienced divorce lawyers Perth can give you that piece of mind.

For example in relation to children’s cases the legislation states that the paramount consideration is the best interests of the child. In a nutshell to determine was is in the best interests of the child the Family Courts must have regard to equal time, substantial and significant time and the primary and secondary considerations.  Reading the legislation will not provide the answer to the outcome of any particular case. The legislation does not say that a child shall have overnight visits or equal time. There are no model parenting plans provided. There are no examples provided. In some overseas jurisdictions model parenting plans have been adopted. These model parenting plans can be accessed on the internet, but they have not been accepted by the Family Court in Australia.

You can turn to the case law for answers. Many decisions of the family courts are reported on the internet. You can look for cases that reflect closely your circumstances. The problem is that there are no two cases that are the same. The family courts frequently comment that each case will turn on its own merits and facts. It can be completely misleading to rely exclusively on similar cases.

It is only therefore experienced Perth family lawyers and divorce lawyers Perth that can provide the answer in any particular case. The experienced family lawyer has built up a vast knowledge of cases and actual experiences before judges of the Family Court of WA. They will be able to provide accurate advice about the particular outcome of cases after being provided with all of the facts of that case. The more experienced the family lawyer in their dealings with the Family Court of WA the more likely that their advice is going to be accurate.

There are multiple factors that the Family Court must consider.  Each of these factors will have different importance and weight in any particular case.  In one case a factor will have limited weight, and in another case it will be given overwhelming weight. Experience and knowledge are key to providing effective family law advice.

We understand that each client and their circumstances are different. There is no such thing as a single solution for every case.

Each case turns on its own facts and circumstances. Our advice and actions are tailored to suit each individual client.

Sarah Fisher

I highly recommend Beacon Family Law and am truly grateful for Dirk’s excellent advice and compassionate professionalism. Many thanks to you all.

Kirstie Butcher

I changed to Beacon Family Law during my legal proceedings and I was so glad I did! While I dealt mainly with Dirk, I found the whole team to be extremely helpful and wonderful to deal with. From my first meeting with Dirk, I knew I was going to be in good hands. I found his direct approach refreshing. The two way communication was fantastic, wherever possible he made himself available and I always felt I knew what was going on (even if things were quiet). He clearly articulated his expectations of me and in turn what I should expect of him. Dirk was realistic and managed my expectations throughout the process. I didn’t end up proceeding to trial however, if I had, it was Dirk and his team that I wanted in my corner regardless of the outcome. I can’t thank Dirk and his team enough for their professional advice and support during what was an extremely stressful time. I have no hesitation in recommending Dirk and his team and, if the arose, would definitely use him again ?

Inga Johnson

The whole team at Beacon family law are caring and professional and are there for their clients from the initial process through to completion.
Through a very stressful time of going through family court process, i would recommend above and beyond Dirk and Clive at Beacon Family Law, to handle your case. Both Dirk and Clive are brilliant ,they have supported me through every step of my court case, and i have the utmost respect for their professionalism and empathy throughout my experience in the family court. Everyone from the Beacon team are so supportive and i am so thankful they were by my side .Personally, i couldn’t have picked a better law firm. Thanks again, for always being there and achieving such a positive outcome for my family.

Romeny Lynch

I engaged Beacon Family Law to finalise a divorce and financial settlement. Dirk and Melissa were fantastic. They listened to what I wanted, answered my many questions and gave me excellent advice with good communication throughout the process. Professional, caring, and cost-effective, I am very grateful to them for making a difficult process so much easier.

Andrew Kent

Right from the beginning Dirk showed a superior knowledge of family law and the Family Court system. His appraisal of my case was both clear and realistic. My case was subsequently handled by Catherine Wong who was equally knowledgable and proficient. Their level headed guidance and willingness to follow my wishes was priceless. Beacon Family Law showed a refreshing willingness to minimise the cost to myself as much as possible and reach an acceptable resolution without unnecessarily dragging things out, which seems to be a common criticism of many other practices. I would highly recommend Beacon Family Law.

Ash Palairet

I emailed several law firms to ask for a package cost for getting a divorce (separation under same roof), of the 3 or 4 replies i got that day, only Dirk from Beacon was willing to give me a clear up-front price for getting this done . after exchanging a few more emails to correct some misinformation from other lawyers (e.g. they would have to represent me in court due to the fact we have kids, thus more cost?? – not true) decided to book in with Dirk. The experience was very efficient, and he suggested a way forward that would be most cost effective for me. The whole experience ended up costing LESS than what i expected ! Highly recommend Dirk Klicker – Barrister at Beacon Family Law

Wayno P

During a difficult time concerning property settlement, Catherine Wong and the staff at Beacon Family Law kept me well informed throughout the whole process in both a professional and respectful manner. Would recommend Beacon Family Law for any family law matters!

Tanya Hamel

Beacon Family Law assisted me with reaching an agreement in a difficult family matter. The professionalism, knowledge, and empathy of Dirk and his colleagues were outstanding during a difficult time in my life. Dirk has excellent negotiation skills which I believe is critical in law matters. I highly recommend Dirk and his colleagues to anyone who requires assistance on family matters.

Margaret

Dirk Klicker at Beacon Family Law provided a comprehensive and compassionate service executing consent orders for me. He was considerate of my circumstances, communicating on my behalf with the other party when I felt I could not, and gave sound legal advice. I would recommend Beacon Family Law to anyone who does not know where to start, or needs completion of family law matters. Thank you to all the team for your professionalism and kindness too.
