Many people assume you need to physically move out for separation to count. Not necessarily.

Whether it’s because of finances, children, or practical reasons, remaining in the same home after separation is more common than you might think.

But here’s where it gets important 👇

Living together after separation can create legal complexities when it comes to things like timelines, evidence of separation, parenting arrangements, finances, and future applications.

Every situation is different, which is why understanding your position early can make a big difference.

Have questions about separation under one roof? This is something many people don’t realise they need advice on until much later. Call Stanley & Co Lawyers on 08 7001 6135.

With the July school holidays approaching, we’re seeing more questions around travelling with children after separation, especially international travel.

✈️ In most cases, you’ll need the other parent’s written consent to take a child overseas. If consent isn’t given, you may need to apply to the Court.

🏡 School holiday time is often already set out in parenting arrangements or orders, which can include how care is shared during holidays and whether travel is allowed.

⚖️ The Court will always focus on the best interests of the child, including their relationship with both parents and the purpose of the travel.

Don’t book first and ask questions later, get clarity before you make travel plans. Contact Stanley & Co. Lawyers for expert Family Law advice on (08) 7001 6135.

“Everything gets split 50/50 in divorce.” One of the biggest misconceptions in family law.

In reality, a property settlement is based on a range of factors, not just an automatic equal split.

The Court may consider:
• financial contributions
• non-financial contributions
• future needs
• care of children
• earning capacity
• health and age

That’s why getting advice early matters. Understanding your position can help you make informed decisions and avoid costly assumptions.

Most people think estate planning is a “set and forget” task. The reality? Life changes, and your estate plan should too.

Here are 5 signs it might be time for a review:

1. Your family situation has changed
2. You’ve bought or sold major assets
3. Your chosen decision-makers are no longer suitable
4. It’s been years since you updated your documents
5. You want more certainty and less stress for your loved ones

Estate planning isn’t just about assets, it’s about protecting the people and future that matter most.

A well-drafted contract does more than formalise an agreement, it sets clear expectations, defines responsibilities, and helps prevent disputes before they arise. By addressing key terms upfront, businesses can reduce risk, protect their interests, and build stronger, more transparent relationships with clients and partners.

Investing in the right legal foundations from the beginning can save significant time, cost, and uncertainty down the track.

If you’re in need of expert legal advice, contact Stanley & Co. Lawyers on 08 7001 6135.
