Call us to book an initial consultation and we’ll listen to your family matter intently. Usually an hour is enough to answer all your questions and provide a direction in resolving the matter, but we’re more than happy to chat if a longer time is needed.
If you decide to work with us moving forward, we’ll devise a strategy based on your unique circumstances and desired outcomes. This may involve negotiating with the other party or seeking mediation and/or arbitration. As much as possible, we’ll avoid going to court as this could be a lengthy, expensive, and exhausting process for you.
Our mission is to help you move forward confidently. That’s why we’ll strive to get you the best possible outcome. This may be in the form of an agreement with the other party or a court order.

I had really great experience dealing with CK family law on state planning . The team is really responsive and had a great opportunity to work with them. They addressed all my issues patiently and provided excellent service to me. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for Family Law issues. From time to time, they are following up addressing the issues. Thanks Chris and Krystina for great support.
Chris and Krystina are not just “any lawyer”, they do actually care so you can trust your matter is handled in a professional and effective way. They supported me 100% throughout my journey and were always quick to respond to any queries I had. They also made sure I understood what was happening at all times, and that I was comfortable with the process and I never once felt “silly” for asking so many questions! I have recommended them to friends and family and they all had a positive experience. Thank you both!
Very swift and professional approach to sorting out a contract that I had left to the last minute. Chris even popped around to my house to assist in speeding up the process.
During a very challenging time in my life I was fortunate to have C&K Family Lawyers guide me and provide sound advice to help me through. Chris is very approachable and happily answered all my questions. Kristina followed up on my inquiries very quickly. I think the use of their names shows how well they looked after me as a client. Thank you.
I highly recommend CK Family Lawyers. Chris and Krystina are both amazing. Their service was professional, speedy and very compassionate. Great value for the quality service provided. Chris and Krystina were so helpful and caring during a difficult time, and I’m very glad I found them. Couldn’t speak more highly of CK Lawyers – best family lawyers around!
I would highly recommend Chris and Krystina from CK family Lawyers to anyone out there that is a seperated parent. My experience with Chris was nothing short of exceptional. I have had a few issues over the years and I wish I had gone to Chris all the years ago. Very knowledgeable on every aspect. Also went above and beyond as my working hours vary from most other people. If anyone one asks me I always refer them to CK family Lawyers.
A child is unable to decide where they want to live until they are a legal adult – at the age of 18. It is possible for a child to express their wishes and if the court is involved in creating parenting orders and arrangements, they may listen to the child’s wishes, however, the court does not have to factor this in when making a decision about where and how the child will spend their time.
