How We Help Families Across Parramatta
Divorce and Separation in Parramatta
Eckert Legal acts for clients going through divorce and separation across the Parramatta area. Our divorce lawyers in parramatta handle both uncontested and contested divorce applications, advise on the implications of separation dates for property and parenting matters, and assist de facto couples navigating separation under Australian family law.
If you are unsure where to start, an initial consultation will give you a clear picture of the process and what your specific situation involves.
Parenting and Child Custody Disputes
Parenting matters, including what is commonly referred to as child custody, are among the most contested and emotionally demanding areas of family law.
Eckert Legal advises Parramatta parents on parenting arrangements, consent orders, relocation matters, and court applications where agreement cannot be reached. Where proceedings are already underway, we can step in at any stage.
Property Settlements and Financial Agreements
We assist Parramatta clients with property settlements, binding financial agreements, superannuation splitting, and child support arrangements following separation.
Where parties reach agreement, we document it through consent orders or a binding financial agreement. Where they cannot, we advise on the litigation path and what a court is likely to consider.
Family Mediation and Dispute Resolution
The court expects parties to make genuine efforts to resolve issues outside of court before commencing litigation, where safe and appropriate. With the support of a family lawyer in Parramatta, you can approach mediation through Family Dispute Resolution with a clear understanding of your options and legal position.
If an agreement is reached, we help formalise the outcome so it is legally recognised. If not, we guide and represent you through the court process. More information on finding a registered FDR practitioner is available through Family Relationships Online.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to go to the Parramatta Family Court for my matter?
Not necessarily. Many family law matters, including parenting and property disputes, are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or consent orders without going to court. The Parramatta Family Court becomes necessary when parties cannot reach agreement, when urgent orders are needed, or when existing orders have been breached. We will give you an honest assessment of whether court is likely in your situation.

Do I need a lawyer for Family Dispute Resolution?
Do I need an attorney for legal separation?
In Australia, you are not legally required to hire a lawyer to separate from your partner. However, obtaining advice from a family lawyer is strongly recommended to help you understand your rights and to formalise arrangements relating to property, finances, and any children involved.
While many Australians search for “attorneys” in Australia, the correct term is “lawyer”.
