What's heard here

The Melbourne Registry

The Federal Circuit & Family Court — Melbourne Registry hears divorce, parenting and property matters for metropolitan Melbourne.

Family-law matters are federal, and for most Melbourne clients they are filed and heard through the Melbourne registry. These cases — parenting arrangements, property settlements, divorce and urgent or family-violence applications — are rarely just legal; they are personal and often painful. We aim to resolve as much as possible by agreement to keep cost and conflict down, and we prepare properly for court when agreement is not possible. Throughout, we explain each step and keep the focus on you and your children.
