If you’re considering getting some legal advice or support to help navigate issues with your ex - how does one go about finding a good family lawyer? Where do you even start?

Family lawyer and host of The Family Matters podcast Benjamin Bryant, says it’s not as simple as buying a home and paying stamp duty. Legal advice is very discretionary. He says things like reputation, rapport with someone and their ability to offer expert guidance are very important when we’re talking about a care jurisdiction like family law.

Ben says a good lawyer should give you all the  information relating to your circumstance - both positive and negative - that can ultimately help you make an informed decision.

If you’re wondering what other support is available to help when it comes to family law related issues, he also offers up a few additional resources that can be useful alongside (rather than in place of) legal advice.

When your relationship with your ex broke down, your natural inclination may have been to move as far away from them as possible. But when children are involved and you are co-parenting, Sonia Cann-Milland, Melbourne-based counsellor and stepfamily expert, said the geographical distance between the co-parents can make a difference to the effectiveness of the co-parenting relationship. 

She says, living nearby to your ex can make it easier in terms of shared access to the children and an ability for both parents to be truly engaged in the child’s community. It also has many benefits from a logistics perspective. 

Whilst sometimes it simply might not be possible to live near to your ex, due to remarriage or a job transfer - if it is, Sonia’s tip might just be worth pondering.
