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.

There is a no-nonsense approach which is great. Having used other firms, my experience has been a lot of wasted time on advice and dollars wasted but at Tribe there is empathy, care and practicality! Availability is always communicated in the service provided by Tribe. I can only see the business growing as your approach is unique and much needed, away from the big corporate's.
