About Jodylee

Jodylee has devoted the past 20 years to providing comprehensive legal advice to couples navigating the complexities of family law. Her extensive experience encompasses separation and divorce, parenting disputes, binding financial agreements, and the intricacies of property settlements. Jodylee is celebrated for offering expert, responsive, and compassionate assistance, ensuring each client benefits from an individualised approach tailored to their unique circumstances. In the realm of family law, Jodylee addresses a broad spectrum of issues. With children's matters, she handles everything from relocation applications and custody disputes to passport applications, paternity questions, and the nuances of child support and maintenance, extending into decisions about medical treatments. Her proficiency with binding financial agreements covers all stages of a relationship—from contemplation of marriage to post-separation settlements. Jodylee offers guidance on the intricacies of divorce, including possible objections, and provides adept support in cases involving family violence and intervention orders. Whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, she strives to achieve favourable family law settlements and adeptly handles defended matters. Her ability to manage international property and parenting disputes, as well as issues of spousal maintenance and superannuation splitting, is well-regarded. Additionally, Jodylee supports generational family wealth protection and family business succession planning. Utilising her skills in negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation, Jodylee remains focused on securing optimal outcomes for her clients. Her commitment is evident as she makes herself readily available to attend conciliation conferences and represent clients in applications for interim and final hearings, both within the court system and through mediation and direct negotiations.
