Common Questions

Family law in PenrithFAQs

QDo I need a family lawyer in Penrith, or can I use a Parramatta firm?
Family law is federal — the same law applies everywhere in Australia, and most Western Sydney matters are heard at the Federal Circuit and Family Court's Parramatta registry regardless of where you live. What matters is your lawyer's experience and accessibility, not their suburb. We serve Penrith clients from our Parramatta office with phone and video consultations available.
QHow much does a family lawyer cost?
It depends on the matter and how far it proceeds. Matters resolved by negotiation or mediation cost a fraction of contested court proceedings. We explain costs clearly at your free first consultation and offer fixed fees for defined work such as divorce applications and consent orders.
QDo we have to go to court?
Usually not. Most separating couples resolve parenting and property matters by negotiation, mediation or consent orders without a judge ever deciding their case. Court is the last resort — and for parenting matters, family dispute resolution is generally required before you can even apply.
QCan I get advice in Tamil?
Yes. Shanthi Anandarajah conducts family law consultations and family dispute resolution in Tamil as well as English, and Greek-language assistance is also available.
