Specialist in Family Law

Written by

Ms McIntosh has specialist expertise in FAMILY LAW and has appeared and advised in numerous matters in both the Family Court of Australia and Federal Magistrates Court often with excellent results.

Ms McIntosh appears and advises in:

  • Parenting Disputes
  • Property Settlement matters (involving complex business interests, family trusts, superannuation)
  • Divorce matters
  • De-Facto relationship (under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth))
  • Binding Financial Agreement matters

Clients who are struggling with marriage breakdown require EXPERIENCE, EMPATHY and CARE!  Ms McIntosh understands the stress and pressure on the client and can present their case to the Court to achieve the best possible result.  She is, by nature a warm and caring person with a lot of life experience to draw upon.  An ESSENTIAL ingredient when understanding the strain that a breakdown in family relationships bring to bear.

 


 

 

MEDIATION

It is much less expensive than court proceedings.  Ms McIntosh appreciates the significant costs (financially and otherwise) that parties go through in litigated family law and domestic relationships matters and is skilled at helping parties reach agreement through these processes.

The advantages of using Mediation to resolve family law disputes include:

  • The issue can be dealt with more quickly than waiting for a court date;
  • The parties involved make the decision and so are more likely to \'own\' the result;
  • The more conciliatory approach may allow former spouses to preserve their relationship in some way which is particularly important when parties have children.

Ms McIntosh has assisted many clients resolve their issues by attending at mediation with the client.  Not all matters are suitable for mediation but Ms McIntosh can help decide and facilitate that process if appropriate.

Direct Access to a Barrister

Written by

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN APPROACH A BARRISTER DIRECTLY?


If you have received court papers and you are identified as a DEFENDANT, whether they are criminal or civil proceedings, you may contact McIntosh Chambers directly.  You do not necessarily need to contact a solicitor first.



  • If you are contemplating whether to COMMENCE legal action, or if you have ALREADY commenced legal action, you also may also contact McIntosh Chambers directly. 

    A Barrister may look at your case for you and decide whether there are factors in which your case would be best served by having a solicitor on the record.  There are some things that a Barrister cannot do for you such as general legal work that is not related to court.  Sometimes the need for a solicitor will arise whilst you are working with the Barrister directly.

    There are some positives for you as the client to work directly with a Barrister if the Barrister accepts your case on a direct access basis.  Some of these are:

    *  It is possible that you might save some money in that you wont be charged for your solicitor briefing your Barrister as you wont have a solicitor (unless the need arises of course);

    *  You will get to know and work one on one with the Barrister; and

    *  You may feel that you have more insight into your case as the Barrister is not removed from you.

    There are also negatives to working directly with a Barrister.  Some of these are:

    *  There can be an urgent need to brief a solicitor at short notice and that solicitor is not familiarised with your case; and

    *  There may be work that you will need to undertake as if you are your own solicitor such as writing some letters in your own name which may not have the desired effect that a letter written in the name of the legal practitioner may have.
