BrigitteGoogle Review
When it comes to family law, it’s such an emotional rollercoaster. You need someone who you know you can trust 100%. It didn’t take me long to realize that Angela was that person. From the first meeting with Angela, she exuded empathy and compassion while also showing that she is staunch and will fight for your rights as a parent. I never once doubted her expertise… that was obvious. But what I loved, was her relatability and above all her professional manner. She’s a hard worker and always gets back to you and does what she says she will do! Which I know is very rare in her industry. I feel so fortunate to have met her and I always recommend her to friends who need help in their most difficult times… with great ( and predictable ) results. If you have any family law matters or just need some excellent advice and support at a difficult time, then I can’t recommend Angela and her team highly enough.

Angela has represented me for 3 years. She is an honest and direct straight shooter. She is down to earth and will only do what is necessary to get the job done, cutting costs wherever possible. Her heart is in the right place and from the get go it was very important to her that she was representing a good cause. She didn't beat around the bush asking me the hard questions up front and it became clear throughout the course of my process that justice is her number 1 priority. Once she backs you and believes in your case, she will she go above and beyond to represent you. It has been an absolute pleasure working alongside her and I'm happy to say that Angela Hebblewhite's dedication resulted in the best possible outcome for me. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

When it came time to engage in a Solicitor for my separation, I contacted a friend who I knew had quite a complex divorce, to see who she recommended. She unreservedly recommended Angela Hebblewhite from Hebblewhite Lawyers and said she would absolutely use her again if needed. Being one of the most stressful times in my life, I needed someone who had experience, knowledge, and drive to guide me in the overwhelming area of property settlement and parenting matters, which I had little knowledge of. Angela is a powerhouse. I too had quite a complex case and I always felt completely safe and reassured in her hands representing me. I have never regretted my decision in engaging Angela and her team, and I’d undoubtedly recommend her to anyone needing a strong and powerful woman to represent them. To this day I continue to engage in her services and cannot recommend her and her team highly enough.

I feel so grateful to have had Angela and her team representing me during my Family Law matter. Angela and her team worked tirelessly to support me throughout the whole process. Not only did they provide real, honest advice, I was also given endless amounts of care, compassion, support and reassurance. Angela and her team were nothing but professional and, continue to be. These matters can be incredibly overwhelming, but I am so glad I made the decision to engage Angela and her team at Hebblewhite Lawyers who made this process as calm and stress-free as possible for me. I highly, highly recommend Angela and her team at Hebblewhite Lawyers

Cannot recommend highly enough. Alison and Angela provided me with their high level of guidance, professionalism and expertise. Their personable natures made me feel comfortable from our first meeting and I completely trusted they would look after me; always keeping me updated with any progress whilst always being mindful of keeping the costs down. I would give 6 stars if I could!

No. In Australia, a divorce does not mean that assets are split 50/50. In fact, this is often not the case.

The Family Law Act 1975 requires the parties to consider many factors. Including:

  1. Each of the parties’ financial and non-financial contributions to the relationship.
  2. The length of the relationship.
  3. The future needs of the parties.
  4. The construction of the matrimonial asset pool.
  5. What is ‘just and equitable’?

The Family Law Act 1975 is gender-neutral and does not make assumptions about parenting roles.

When a family court is making a decision about a child, the court will make an order that is in the best interests of the child.

Many factors are considered. It’s often best to consult an expert child custody lawyer to find out how this may affect you.
