Separation changes a lot of things, but it doesn't change your responsibilities as a parent. Whether you and your ex-partner separated amicably or not, the law expects you to keep working together on the decisions that matter most for your child, if safe to do so. At Evans & Wislang, we help parents understand exactly where they stand — and what to do when an agreement isn't easy to reach. Here's a practical guide to the key issues that come up after separation.

Buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make — and one of the least understood. From reviewing a contract before you sign, to the searches, timing, and paperwork most buyers never see, this is what solicitor-led guidance actually looks like at every stage of a purchase. Read on to find out where the real risks sit, and why the best time to talk to a solicitor is before you're locked in.

As cryptocurrency becomes an increasingly common feature of Australian financial portfolios, it is also becoming a more frequent — and more complex — issue in family law property settlements. Courts have confirmed that digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are treated as property under the Family Law Act 1975, subject to the same disclosure, valuation, and division requirements as any other asset.

But cryptocurrency is not like other assets. Its volatility, decentralised nature, and relative ease of concealment present unique challenges that require specialist knowledge to navigate. Whether you are dealing with questions of valuation, suspected non-disclosure, or the tax consequences of dividing digital holdings, understanding how the law applies to these assets is essential before any decisions are made.
