Proceedings concerning family relationships, children and intervention orders are legally complex and often urgent. They require careful preparation, sound judgment and sensitive yet firm advocacy.
Chapman’s List includes barristers practising in family, children’s and intervention order matters. Members act in:
- Intervention order applications and contested hearings
- Parenting disputes and relocation matters
- Child protection proceedings
- Property and financial disputes
- Appeals
- Multi-jurisdictional proceedings
Barristers are briefed by family law specialists and suburban practices across Victoria and appear in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, the Children’s Court of Victoria and the Magistrates’ Court.
Members are recognised for providing clear strategic advice, careful preparation and confident courtroom advocacy in matters that are often highly sensitive and factually complex.
