SGM Legal offers comprehensive family law services in Melbourne, assisting clients through the complexities of relationship breakdowns, including divorce, property settlements, and child custody arrangements.

Emphasising just and equitable resolutions, SGM Legal supports clients in achieving fair agreements through negotiation and mediation, aiming to minimise the need for court intervention. The firm also advises on Binding Financial Agreements, commonly known as prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, which help protect individual rights and assets in the event of separation. They highlight the importance of careful legal advice when drafting these agreements, given the strict legal requirements and potential for dispute. SGM Legal considers factors such as financial and non-financial contributions, care responsibilities, and the best interests of children, ensuring that all elements are addressed thoroughly to reach suitable outcomes in family law matters.
