Lawyers are necessary in a variety of scenarios, many stressful, but they provide important services essential to protecting your rights and best interests. When your situation involves divorce or other relationship concerns, parenting issues, or drunk driving, you need a family lawyer who specializes in all the laws pertaining to these three issues. A good family lawyer will have lots of experience and knowledge in all the complexities of the laws and be up to date, as well. Law relating to family can be dependent on certain qualifications, so it is very important that your lawyer is able to know if your situation fits and what rights you are eligible for. The situations that fall under Family Law can also be very stressful and emotional, so it is important that your lawyer is able to diffuse any unnecessary stress and make you feel confident in their ability to fight for your best interests.
The first area that family lawyers will deal with is any sort of parenting dispute. In a divorce, children are often the ones that suffer most and it can be an incredibly sad time for both parents. The Australian court is set up so that each parent has the right for equal time and responsibility with and of all children, but depending on the situation, a different arrangement might be made.
This might be because of a job situation where one parent travels a lot, or if a parent is able to prove that the co-parent is a danger to the child. A good lawyer will fight for your right to have equal time and responsibility of your child. The child should be the top priority, so a lawyer will work to avoid situations where parents are trying to get back at each other and make the situation even harder for their child. If the situation does worsen, a lawyer will also be involved if you are worried about your child’s safety, if your co-parent is not cooperating with the agreement, and so on. If you and your former partner are on good terms, going to court might not even be necessary. A family lawyer can be brought in to make sure that the agreement you’ve reached is legal and binding. Reaching this sort of resolution is ideal because it doesn’t pit the parents against each other or force the child to “choose” between their parents.
During a divorce, you have to deal with both the emotional strain and difficulty of dividing up assets, property, and so on. A lawyer will help with the latter, leaving you with more time and space to work through your emotions. The Sydney Divorce Lawyer will advise you on what you are legally entitled to and if you are able to reach an agreement without going to court, provide you with all the paperwork necessary to finalize everything.

The same applies to property and/or businesses that you might have shared as a couple. Good lawyers know how you can find out the value of everything as well as how to reach settlements without going to court. De facto relationships (unmarried couples) are entitled to the similar rights under the law as a married couple, though the situation can vary, so ask a lawyer about the details. De facto relationships include both heterosexual and homosexual couples.
Another issue that family lawyers cover is drunk driving. As your lawyer, they should always fight for your acquittal if you have been charged. It is very important that you protect your interests because having a drunk driving offence on your record will affect you the rest of your life. You can receive a charge if you been drinking and then driving, or if you are under the influence of other narcotics.
