Family Law

At Shan Lawyers, we bring deep understanding and strategic expertise to family law property settlements, offering comprehensive guidance tailored to clients in both domestic and international contexts. Led by our Principal and Director, Thirumalai, who possesses extensive experience in managing cases with overseas connections, our firm is adept at navigating the complexities of asset division during separations. Whether dealing with intricate asset structures such as family trusts, companies, or overseas properties, we collaborate closely with accountants and financial advisors to ensure that settlements are structured to minimise any adverse tax implications. We also assist clients—particularly those less familiar with the family's financial dynamics—in understanding and confidently handling these arrangements. Recognising the importance of timely legal action, we help clients adhere to strict court-imposed deadlines for property settlement claims, whether relating to marriages or de facto relationships. In addition, our expertise extends to assessing spousal and de facto maintenance claims, where we provide clear advice on eligibility and the legal demonstration required for support. With a proven four-step legal process employed by Australian courts, we carefully guide clients through each phase, from asset identification and valuation to ensuring the final distribution is both just and equitable. Our commitment is to equip our clients with the knowledge and support necessary to secure a fair and sensible resolution, underscoring our dedication to their best interests throughout the settlement process.
