Why Choose US
- Trusted, experienced legal team
We are members of the Queensland Law Society and the Family Law Practitioners Association, with our liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
Our Special Counsel, Nicky Grummitt, is based right here in Goondiwindi and works closely with Senior Associate Helena Lange, our experienced family lawyer. Together, they provide local clients with practical, supportive family law guidance.
- A client focused approach
We listen, and we explain things in plain language, so you always know where your matter stands and what comes next. Our aim is for you to feel confident and in control, supported by a team that treats your story as part of ours.

Our Family Law Services in Goondiwindi
Our Goondiwindi family law services cover the full range of matters that families face during difficult or uncertain times. We understand the particular pressures of regional and rural life, from farming and family businesses to the distances between towns and services. Each service links to a more detailed page so you can read further whenever you are ready.
Divorce and Separation
Separation can feel even more exposed in a close-knit regional community, so we guide you through every stage with clarity, discretion, and compassion. Our support includes:
- Divorce applications
- Legal separation guidance
- De facto relationship matters
- Binding financial agreements and separation agreements
Parenting Matters
Long distances between homes, schools, and towns can make care arrangements more complex, so we help you put safe, practical, and child-focused plans in place. We assist with:
- Parenting plans
- Care schedules, including travel between towns
- Parental responsibility applications
- Relocation and travel disputes
- Consent orders for legally binding agreements
In a smaller community where paths often cross again, preserving respect between parties matters, and collaborative practice offers a focused solution to resolve matters out of court. Our approach includes:
- Cooperative negotiation between both parties
- Transparent, open communication
- Legal guidance aimed at preserving relationships
- Shared decision making for amicable outcomes
- A respectful process that avoids court
Rural settlements often involve more than the family home, with farms, land, machinery, and business interests in the mix, and we help you work through them fairly. We assist with:
- Property and asset division, including rural and business assets
- Superannuation splitting
- Binding financial agreements
- Valuations and financial disclosure
- Fair settlements negotiated without going to court
Estate planning is often tied to succession of the family farm or business, and with Special Counsel Nicky Grummitt based locally, it is an area we know well. We assist with:
- Simple and complex wills
- Succession planning for farms and family businesses
- Enduring powers of attorney
- Advance health directives
- Estate administration and probate applications
Court is rarely the fastest or easiest way to resolve a family law matter, and in a regional community it is seldom the right first step either. Mediation gives both people a structured way to work through the issues and reach an agreement they have shaped themselves. We assist with:
- Family dispute resolution
- Parenting and property mediation
- Preparation and support before a mediation session
- Documenting agreements so they are legally binding
- Referral to an independent, accredited mediator where that suits your matter
What to Expect When Working With Us
We want your experience to feel as smooth and supportive as possible. From your first consultation through to resolution, you will always know what to expect.
Your First Consultation
During your free 30-minute consultation, we listen to your story, clarify your goals, explain your legal options and next steps, and give you an outline of fees. The session is confidential, obligation-free, and designed to give you clarity from the start.
Clear and Consistent Communication
Throughout your matter, we keep you fully informed. You will receive updates in plain language, with no legal jargon, and you will have direct access to your legal team for any questions or concerns.
Typical Timeframes
Timeframes depend on the complexity of your matter and the level of cooperation between the parties involved. At your first meeting, we provide a realistic timeline tailored to your situation.
Step-by-Step Guidance
We break each stage of your matter into clear, manageable tasks, so you always understand what is happening and what is coming next.
A focus on reducing stress
We work to reduce conflict wherever we can, using mediation and negotiation before considering court proceedings. Your wellbeing matters to us as much as the outcome, and we keep that in mind at every step.
Confidential and Supportive Environment
In a community where people know each other, discretion matters. Your matter stays confidential, and we can meet by phone or video if you would rather not be seen coming and going. Every conversation is handled with care, privacy, and respect.
