Family Lawyers & Separation / Divorce
In Australia we use the no-fault principle when it comes to divorce.
The marriage just needs to have broken down irretrievably, the Court does not need to know a reason for the divorce.

After a divorce or separation, the primary carer of the children is able to claim child support from the non-primary carer.
Sunshine Coast family lawyers can help local people negotiate an agreement in relation to child support, including the amount of child support, the type of child support.
If the parties can reach an informal agreement, then the Child Support Agency do not need to be involved.
