We manage all filings through the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) and represent clients in negotiations, mediation, and, where necessary, court proceedings. While divorce formally ends the marriage, financial and parenting issues often follow. Our team ensures each stage is addressed properly, protecting your interests long-term.
From our Picton office, we offer clear advice, fixed-fee options for uncontested matters, and responsive legal representation for complex or urgent situations. Clients choose Caldwell Martin Cox because we combine over 75 years of local experience with a modern, outcome-driven legal service model.
Whether you’re in Tahmoor, Wilton, Thirlmere, or central Picton, we’re here to assist with clarity, professionalism, and trusted legal support.
Uncontested Divorce Applications
Parenting & Property Agreements
Urgent or Disputed Family Matters
We manage all filings through the FCFCOA, which oversees divorce across NSW. Picton Local Court does not handle divorce applications, although it may deal with related family violence or interim matters. We ensure your matter is lodged correctly and manage all service requirements.
Once your divorce is processed, we address any unresolved parenting or financial matters. These are treated separately, but often require urgent attention. We guide you through:
- Filing sole or joint applications through eFiling
- Managing a complex service where one party is uncooperative
- Creating parenting plans that prioritise children’s best interests
- Negotiating property division with financial clarity and legal finality
Each stage is handled with legal precision and personalised care.
For more complex or disputed cases, such as matters involving child custody, financial disclosure, or urgent relief, our lawyers offer fee estimates based on the work required. We keep costs transparent and proportionate to the outcome being sought.
Uncontested matters typically include:
- Application preparation and review
- Court filing through FCFCOA
- Managing document service and confirmation
Contested or complex cases may involve:
- Additional legal submissions or affidavits
- Property valuation and financial disclosure
- Interim hearings or court compliance
We can also advise whether you may be eligible for Legal Aid NSW or refer you to community legal services where appropriate.
Our team prepares legally binding agreements that cover custody, time spent, school arrangements, and financial support. We also resolve property division involving real estate, superannuation, and business assets. We prioritise negotiation and resolution before recommending court proceedings.
Legal clarity in these areas protects your future. With our support, you avoid delays, legal errors, or unenforceable outcomes that could cause further stress. All work is handled locally from our Picton office and backed by the strength of a firm with 75+ years of legal service in the region.
