Respect Legal is here to disrupt traditional ways of practicing family law through our respectful approach to dispute resolution. We focus on outcomes that strengthen families, rather than tear them apart.
Our team of highly skilled family lawyers are leaders in their field who provide expert advice and guidance through complex legal processes so you can achieve an outcome that works best for you and your family.
At Respect Legal, our all-female team helps you navigate separation, parenting, property, and family violence matters with clear advice and genuine care. We focus on out-of-court solutions that reduce conflict and put your wellbeing first.
Meet the highly skilled family lawyers ready to provide expert advice and guidance so you can achieve an outcome that works best for you and your family.
Your journey begins with a confidential consultation. We take time to understand your situation including parenting, property, and any safety concerns. We’ll then discuss clear options and advice to help you.
We guide you through your best pathway to resolution, including:
Mediation (with or without lawyers)
Lawyer-assisted negotiation
Round table conferences
Family Court representation (only when necessary)
Our goal is always to resolve matters respectfully and with as little conflict as possible.
Once agreements are reached, we prepare the legal documents that make them official:
Consent Orders (parenting and property)
Parenting Plans
Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs)
Child Support Agreements (binding or limited)
We have partnered with JustFund as a practical and compassionate solution for clients who needsupport covering legal costs. Through our partnership, eligible clients can access a flexible line ofcredit to help manage legal fees and expenses, with nothing to repay until after a settlement isreached. Unlike traditional lenders, JustFund does not look at income or credit scores to approvefunding support for family law matters.This kind of flexible funding can be life-changing—particularly for those who are financiallydependent on a partner, experiencing family violence, or trying to navigate a complex separationwithout the immediate means to proceed. By introducing legal finance early in the process, we want to help ensure that no one is deniedquality legal representation simply because of their financial position.
JustFund is Australia’s first and only dedicated family law finance provider that partners withleading family law firms to make legal representation more accessible—especially for those facingfinancial hardship.Accessing legal services can feel impossible when money is tight. Whether you’re financiallydependent on your partner, experiencing family violence, or managing a mortgage and daily livingcosts, the burden of legal fees can put justice out of reach. JustFund aims to remove that barrier byproviding a flexible, affordable line of credit tailored to your legal case. Funding with JustFund can be accessed at any stage of the separation process and is repaid onlyafter your settlement. By simplifying access to legal finance, JustFund empowers people to moveforward with confidence, dignity, and support—when they need it most.
JustFund’s services only cover matters related to property settlements. Unfortunately,JustFund cannot cover cases that only involve parenting arrangements. However, if you’reorganising parenting and property matters simultaneously, JustFund can assist.
