Engage a Family Lawyer — Free / Low-Cost Pathways
You will need legal advice for nearly every step of the separation. Most family lawyers offer a free or fixed-fee initial consultation; Legal Aid is means-tested; Community Legal Centres are free for eligible matters. Don't fly solo on a contested matter — the costs of getting it wrong dwarf the legal fees.
