Tailored Legal Solutions from Our Family Law Lawyers in Sydney

Family law issues can create uncertainty, especially around finances, children and future security. That’s why our team provides tailored, practical solutions that help you understand your rights and make informed decisions.

Many separated parents struggle to understand their child support obligations or entitlements.

We offer guidance on how assessments are calculated, your responsibilities, and how to plan for the future with confidence.

We also assist clients with asset protection and Binding Financial Agreements. As more people enter second relationships, de facto partnerships or relationships later in life, financial concerns are increasingly common.

Our family law lawyers in Sydney provide detailed advice on financial agreements to give you certainty and protection moving forward.

Our focus on dispute resolution through mediation offers a constructive alternative to court proceedings. Mediation allows families to resolve disputes faster, more cost-effectively and with far less emotional strain. We guide you through the process and help you achieve mutually beneficial solutions without the lengthy delays associated with  court proceedings.

Wayne & Margaret
Estate Planning Client

"I have been a client of Southern Waters Legal for a number of years now. It is at specific times in our lives that we really value integrity and honesty in those we deal with. Simon, Leona and the team have helped me organise our affairs at a very tough time in my life, they have provided wise counsel, legal support and hand-holding as I went through the sale of my family home and moving to new premises. I have received possibly the best financial advice that is reaping rewards for me now. Thank you to a wonderful team of professionals. Thank you"

Anne
Property Client

"I used Leona and her team’s services during an extremely difficult and stressful period of my life. They were able to guide me through the steps required from beginning to end of divorce and financial settlement and set up a plan to follow that helped to take out a lot of the anxiety around not having control over the situation. I had 100% faith at all times in Leona and her team that my best interests were always taken into consideration and I was only contacted when needed to avoid being charged unnecessarily. These guys are the dream team and highly recommend them."

Stephanie
Family Law Client

"Family law can be very daunting but Leona Bennett removed all the confusion of the ‘legal jargon’ and step by step walked me through the family court process. Leona made it simple and I always had a full understanding of what was happening and made clear decisions for the final outcome. Leona and her team were there for me, working their wisdom to always provide greater clarity and support."

Cheryl
Family Law Client

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to you for your exceptional guidance and support throughout my property settlement and divorce.

Your expertise, strategic thinking, and calm command of the process were deeply reassuring, especially during the most difficult moments. What stood out even more was your unwavering commitment to acting ethically and with integrity, even when the other side did not extend the same courtesy. That strength of character meant a great deal to me and helped me stay anchored in a process that was often emotionally and morally challenging.

Thank you for being both a skilled advocate and a steady presence. I’m deeply grateful to have had you in my corner.

Madeline
Property Law Client

I would like to say a truly heartfelt thank you for everything you did yesterday. You went above and beyond, not just in terms of the legal work, which was so thorough and professional but in the way you showed such care, calm and kindness throughout.

"This has been an incredibly emotional and complex chapter of my life, and to have someone like you guiding the final stages made all the difference. You were steady, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive.  I felt genuinely supported and looked after!

Thank you for helping me bring this to a close with grace and dignity. I’m so grateful our paths crossed."
