A MELCA separation & divorce keeps your family away from conflict and out of court

A MELCA separation & divorce is a win for everyone in the family. If you go to court or negotiate with lawyers ‘in the shadow of the court’, you are both aiming to win everything you can – but the reality is often that nobody wins. We think your family can do much better than that. We know your children can do much better than that. The MELCA Method keeps them in the centre and out of the middle.

A MELCA separation & divorce is both personalised and legally binding

At MELCA, your collaborative lawyer will represent you and can help with all aspects of family law and separation, including pre-nuptial agreements, binding financial agreements, child support, child custody, superannuation and property division. Your settlement is written up in documents that have the same legal standing as agreements reached in any other negotiation or court process.
