But do I need a lawyer?

Many Australians don't use a lawyer for their family law issues. In fact, 30 to 50 percent of family court cases are managed by people who are self-represented. And many other people arrange their own separations, divorces, and make their own parenting and financial arrangements.

Why is this? Well, lots of people simply can't afford a traditional family lawyer. And some people just don’t want one. Others want to resolve arrangements amicably, without blowing up the farm. But Australian family law is not easy to navigate for a non-lawyer. And do-it-yourself family law can be difficult, a bit treacherous even.

So this is where Tribe comes in. Our innovative, unbundled service model is your middle-ground option: between managing your family law issue completely alone, and engaging a full-representation family lawyer. With Tribe, you can work with an experienced family lawyer who supports you with guidance, advice and documentation to be your best legal self, to achieve the outcomes you need to make your future life what it should be.

Testimonials

“

My thanks to you is not so much about the services you offer, which was exactly what I needed, but more how you...treated me. You made me feel heard and understood. You treated me with compassion and empathy. And you empowered me to fight another day. In a broken system, which doesn't shine a bright light on the legal fraternity, you are most certainly the exception to the rule! Thank you.

Mine was an unusual case - I was married to someone who was already married. Maree was amazing. She went the extra mile to help me get all the information we needed, including from overseas. When I finally went to court, the judge said we’d done everything we had to and produced professional and amazing documents.  I won the case. Maree was there for me at every step.

Maree is a logical, patient and extremely empathetic solicitor. She worked against the clock to prepare my documentation, presenting my complicated story in the best possible light. It is hard to be satisfied with any other family lawyer after you've worked with her.

Mia, Lewisham, 2019
“

Maree’s knowledge and advice for me were second to none. She knew exactly what was needed without me having to ask. Her approach to dealing with my legal problems were only matched with her empathy for my health condition. It was truly a pleasure working with her.
