Practical family law help from our office in Kenmore, in Brisbane’s west.
Melrose Keys Lawyers is a family law firm based in Kenmore, helping people across Brisbane with separation, divorce, children’s matters and property. We give clear advice, treat every matter with care, and aim to settle things by agreement wherever we can.
It depends on what you need. Simple work, such as drafting consent orders, can often be done for a fixed fee. Ongoing matters are usually charged by the hour.
Matters that settle by agreement cost far less than matters that go to court, so we look for ways to resolve things early.
We explain our fees at the start and can talk about payment arrangements, so you know what to expect.
Family law problems are stressful, and they affect the people you care about most.
We listen first, explain your options in plain language and give you practical advice. Where we can, we find the quickest and most affordable way to resolve your matter.
