Divorce Lawyer servicing couples and families in the Mosman area. Divorce Lawyers helping separating couples for over 30 years.

Are you looking for an experienced Mosman family lawyer to help you with your separation and divorce?

We are keenly aware that dealing with a relationship breakdown is distressing and seeing a lawyer can be a very daunting experience. Having practised almost exclusively in the area of family law for more than 20 years at Doolan Wagner, we believe that we are the best-placed family law firm in the local area to deal with you and your matter sensitively and with the best interests of you and your family foremost in mind.

We recognise that no two families (or indeed family breakdowns) are the same. We are not a cookie-cutter law firm and will take the time to get to know you, your family and the distinct facts and circumstances of your case – that is our promise to you.

We do this so that we can offer you advice that is tailored to your personal circumstances and can secure a resolution of your matter which reflects the specific needs of you and your family.

Why use Doolan Wagner, your family lawyer Mosman, in your family law matter?

We have been helping separating couples for over 20 years and during that time have assisted hundreds of couples to resolve their family law matters in the most cost-effective way both with and without the Court’s involvement.

1. We only practice in the area of family law. That means we are in the best position to assist you to resolve your matter because:
   – we have established relationships with many of the local family law practitioners (including local lawyers, barristers and court staff), Child Contact Centres, Meditators, Family Law Arbitrators, etc.
   – we can quickly grasp the important elements of each family law matter; and
   – we are expertly familiar with how family law processes work.
2. We have lawyers who are Accredited Family Law Specialists registered with the Law Society of NSW – these are experts in all areas of family law and are best placed to assist you in relation to your family law matter.
3. We have registered Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners for separating couples who are not yet ready to undertake the formal engagement of a solicitor or who want to try to informally resolve their matter using alternative dispute resolution.
4. Your file will receive personal attention from experienced family lawyers including our Principal and the handling of your matter won’t be passed around the office to junior lawyers unless specifically requested by you.
5. Every day we:
   – draft family law documents including but not limited to Court Applications, Balance Sheets, Superannuation Splitting Orders, Financial Agreements, Binding Child Support Agreements, Consent Orders, Applications for Divorce and Affidavits;
   – assist clients to formulate sensible parenting plans and negotiate appropriate financial property settlements;
   – review financial disclosure documents, court documents, parties’ evidence and applications for child support assessments;
   – prepare clients for attendances at Court and engaging with the Family Law processes such as attending with Family Consultants; and
   – guide clients through the many challenges that can arise in their lives and within the family unit as a result of separation and divorce.
6. We are a boutique law firm with overheads to match – we pass on those savings to you so that our fees and charges are competitive. We should be considered the “go-to” company for getting real and good old fashioned divorce law advice.
7. Our practise has been built up from word of mouth referrals from satisfied current and past clients and local professional people – that’s 20 years of business built up largely from word-of-mouth referrals…enough said.

4. You will be provided with clear advice on what forms part of the “pool of assets” and how best to protect the assets of the relationship.
5.
