Judy's experience as a barrister at the Cape Town bar and specialist in children's matters has enabled her to conduct complicated parenting matters in both the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court without the use of counsel, thus reducing the overall costs considerably.

Our Approach to Family Law

As a mother of four children, Judy's passion is to protect the children of separating couples and to ensure that what is best for them is placed foremost, even at the expense of the parents' wishes.

Cost Transparency

We offer fixed prices for various steps of the process so you know what to expect financially. Separation can be both emotionally and financially challenging - we believe in keeping you informed upfront.

Collaborative Approach

We guide our clients towards a conciliatory and collaborative approach whenever possible, advocating for a less adversarial system where legal fees are manageable.
