The Tosh Colls Difference

There are several matters that need to be resolved upon the breakdown of a relationship. We can assist you in relation to the alteration of your property interests (no matter how complex your arrangements may be) and if you have a child or children, we can assist you to make parenting arrangements that meet each child’s best interests and can give you guidance and support in relation to child support issues.

Property matters can vary in size, complexity and asset structure.  At Tosh Colls Family Law, our lawyers have experience and expertise in dealing with property settlements for clients with simple and modest asset pools to highly complex corporate group structures with multiple entities, trusts and operating businesses, spanning multiple countries.  We understand that every property settlement is different but the importance to each client of having an equitable outcome that affords clarity, stability and finality is the same.

Navigating parenting issues, particularly in the early days of separation, can be tricky. Our family lawyers can help you resolve matters without significant cost and acrimony, assisting you to preserve your co-parenting relationship.  We can also assist grandparents who are struggling to reach an agreement enabling them to maintain a relationship with their grandchildren.

Whilst it is always preferable to resolve matters by agreement and through mediation, if your matter needs to be litigated, we will advocate strongly for you at every step along the Court pathway.

Our lawyers are known for their child-focused approach. They understand the importance of ensuring that parenting arrangements support each child’s unique developmental needs. They recognise that factors such as age, temperament, and emotional maturity play a crucial role in determining what is in a child’s best interests.

At Tosh Colls Family Law, you will receive advice from our experienced family lawyers regarding developmentally appropriate solutions that foster stability and positive family dynamics. We are dedicated to providing you with supportive and individualized guidance, particularly in sensitive parenting matters.

Child support can seem overwhelming, particularly in the early days following your separation. Our lawyers will help to demystify child support for you and also give you advice about whether it is in your interests to enter into a Binding Child Support Agreement.

You have probably heard about prenuptial agreements. Did you know that before, during and after your relationship or marriage you can enter into a Financial Agreement? Your Agreement can deal with how some or all of your assets are dealt with if you do decide to separate. These agreements need to be approached very delicately. At Tosh Colls Family Law we recognise that these agreements require a thoughtful and sensitive approach to ensure clarity for all parties involved. Our lawyers offer the expertise and guidance needed to navigate this process with care.

Please contact us if you need assistance in creating a Financial Agreement that provides security and peace of mind.
