There can be many different types of people, services and roles that you may come across when you are going through a family law matter in Australia. 

Unless you are a lawyer or even a family lawyer, it can be difficult to understand who you need on your family law team to get the outcome that you want when it comes to your separation or divorce. 

It is confusing!

• Solicitor
• Paralegal
• Barrister
• Mediator
• Court Registrar
• Judge’s Associate
