Divorce & Separation

We have guided Caroline Springs clients through divorce and separation for more than 30 years. That covers the divorce application itself and everything that follows it, from your financial position to arrangements for the children. Most matters resolve through negotiation. For the ones that do not, you have a team that has run them in court.

Financial Matters

You are entitled to know what you will walk away with before you start negotiating. We value the asset pool, superannuation and debts included, and advise married and de facto clients across Caroline Springs on a realistic settlement range.

Parenting Matters

We act for mothers, fathers, grandparents and step-parents across Melbourne’s west on where children live and how time is shared. We will tell you honestly how a court is likely to view your arrangements.

Wills & Estates

A professionally prepared will lets you look after the people who matter to you after you are gone. We have more than 30 years’ experience helping Caroline Springs clients with wills and estate planning, and we have run successful litigation for clients contesting a will. Estate planning often sits alongside a family law matter, and we handle both.

TESTIMONIALS

See why our customers knew that they had made the right choice for their Family Lawyers.

Graeme Freeman made a very difficult de-facto settlement process not only bearable, but manageable. He was consistently professional, calm, and patient, taking the time to explain each step clearly so I could understand my options and feel supported in my decisions. His experience and thoughtful approach gave me the confidence I needed to get through the process. I highly recommend Graeme, he is an exceptional lawyer with extensive expertise and a reassuring manner.

Nelly Phelan

I was recommended to Graham Freeman, Brad Jones, James Story and barrister Nick Ellis by my original solicitor Lily Safarewicz who prepared the history and facts of my case. At Freeman Family Law, I spent the early days with Brad who was friendly and extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and well versed on my case. I felt confident that I was in the right hands during this emotional time in my life.

I was also very comfortable and grateful to have Graham and especially barrister Nick Ellis at mediation and thank them from the bottom of my heart, for their professional efforts and work at mediation. I will recommend Freeman Family Law in the future and thank them all for the outcome which allows me to move ahead and live again, it was a pleasure to have you by my side.

Peter Cullen

Graeme and his team went above and beyond to ensure a great result for a family settlement for me. Always taking a calm, sensible but firm route meant I never felt out of control of the situation and always had my options clearly explained. Graeme was very personable, always available when needed and very generous fee-wise. I would highly recommend him and his team. Certainly one of the best family lawyers I’ve ever worked with!

Quan Quansen

Graham was recommended to me by an acquaintance on an outstanding successful custody case. Brad is an exceptional family lawyer, he restored my faith in the justice system.

Brad was extremely knowledgeable, honest and realistic which instilled a confidence and peace in me knowing I was in the right hands in such a stressful important time. Brad was highly sensitive to the trauma I had previously been through in the system. His communication was outstanding along with his experienced recommendations.

I cannot thank you enough for achieving an outcome that exceeded all of expectations. I would highly recommend Freeman Family Lawyers, it was an absolute pleasure working with everyone.

Rochelle Pettit

From the moment I reached out to Lauren under stressful circumstances involving my family, my mind was put at ease. The support and guidance she provided me through the legal process along with the strong advocacy shown was able to get my matter travelling in the right direction from day 1. Brad, with his direct and no-nonsense approach, then kept the ball rolling through the system until the matter was finally resolved.

I appreciated his ability to tell it how it is without sugar coating anything which inturn was able to keep my expectations realistic. No one expects going to court will be stress free, especially when children are involved, however with Brad and Lauren in my corner, we were able to achieve the desired outcome. Whilst I hope I never need legal representation in these circumstances again, I wouldn't hesitate returning to Freeman Family Law. Thanks again to Graeme Freeman and his team!

Graeme Freeman and Lauren are exceptional, empathetic and tireless advocates for their clients. Over a long period, we engaged a number of firms before finding the perfect support in Freeman Family Law, and they led us to an outstanding result. Thank you Graeme and Lauren for all you have done for our family. We appreciate it!

Christopher Benz

Freeman Lawyers - I rate my experience 6 stars out of 5.
The support and care to detail was excellent but not only that they stood by me through thick and thin of dreadful defacto separation which we had to fight to get our true compensation for over more than year.
But with the amazing lawyer Brad jones we defeated there lies and there disgusting tricks of trying not to give me funds.
I truly owed a lot to Brad who took the fight right to them
His support , belief and down to earth approach kept me fighting.
I can truely call him a friend for life.
This is the people you get at freeman’s they are best in the business of family law
Real people, compassionate in the approach and experts in there field.

Peter Hall

I was curious about engaging freeman family law for a some work. Graeme replied to my email that I should call him. During the call I was expecting to setup a time for us to chat through my thoughts. Expecting to have to pay in advance for this. Graeme picked up first call and we chatted for for 15 mins. after the short chat i decided I did not need the work i originaly thought. Id like to thank Graeme and Freeman family law for acting in the benifit of me and informing me honestly, instead of "trying to sell things to me" that i dont need, which would have been very easy. I recommend them for any work you want, but probably ask if they want to setup a call first haha
