FAMILY LAW

Compassionate advice. Practical solutions. Real support when you need it most.

Family law issues often arise during life’s most stressful times. At Allan Hogan Solicitor, we understand that these matters aren’t just legal — they’re deeply personal. That’s why we provide clear, caring, and realistic guidance to help you make the best decisions for you and your family.

Whether you’re separating, finalising property arrangements, or working through parenting issues, our goal is simple:
to make the process easier, fairer, and less overwhelming — every step of the way.

SEPARATION & DIVORCE APPLICATION

Ending a relationship can be challenging both emotionally and financially. We’ll guide you through the process with sensitivity and professionalism — explaining your options clearly and ensuring your rights are protected.
From preparing and filing divorce applications to navigating property settlements or parenting arrangements, we’ll make sure you understand each step and what it means for your future.

Our aim is to simplify the legal side, so you can focus on moving forward.

Parenting & Children's Matters

When children are involved, we focus on what matters most — their wellbeing. We help parents reach fair and workable arrangements, whether through negotiation, mediation, or formal court orders.
We’ll explain your rights and responsibilities in plain English and help you find practical, child-focused solutions that encourage stability and cooperation.

At Allan Hogan Solicitor, we believe that not every family law matter needs to end up in court. Allan’s postgraduate qualifications in Family Law and Dispute Resolution mean he brings a strong focus on collaboration and communication to every case.

We encourage resolution through negotiation and mediation, helping families reach practical, lasting agreements wherever possible. This approach saves time, reduces stress, and keeps decision-making in your hands — not the courtroom’s.

We believe every child deserves a peaceful, secure future — and we’ll help you work towards that outcome.

Property Settlements

After separation, it’s important to divide assets fairly and efficiently. We assist with all aspects of property settlements, from identifying shared assets and liabilities to drafting binding financial agreements or consent orders.
Our focus is on achieving balanced outcomes that protect your financial interests and minimise stress, cost, and conflict.

Binding Financial Agreement (BFA)

A Binding Financial Agreement (often called a prenup or post-separation agreement) can be a practical way to manage finances before, during, or after a relationship.
We can draft or review your agreement to ensure it’s legally sound, fair, and reflective of your intentions. These documents provide clarity and peace of mind — helping avoid disputes later on.

Our approach

At Allan Hogan Solicitor, we take pride in offering honest advice with empathy and experience. We know that no two families are the same, so we take the time to listen, explain, and support you through every stage.
