Why Choose Eden King Lawyers?
Being based in Sydney means we know the ins and outs of NSW property law and understand how local courts tend to approach these matters. It’s not just about knowing the law – it’s about understanding how things work on the ground.
Our approach is personal. We don’t just see you as a case file – we’re here to support you through what can be a really tough time. We know it’s not just legal paperwork – it’s your future, your finances, and your peace of mind.
We’re also upfront about costs. No hidden fees or unexpected charges – just clear, fair pricing.
Over the years, we’ve helped countless clients resolve property settlements through negotiation and, when needed, through court. For complex matters like property development or construction-related issues, we also work closely with expert construction lawyers in Sydney to ensure every angle is covered.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends. Straightforward matters might be finalised in a few months, but complex cases involving disputes or significant assets can take longer. Getting advice early can help speed things up.
In most cases, no. Once a court order is made or a binding agreement is signed, it’s considered final. Changes are only possible in very limited circumstances.
Unfortunately, this does happen. A proper financial disclosure process and legal support can help uncover hidden assets – though it may add time and complexity to your case.
Not always. Many settlements are resolved without going to court. But if there’s a dispute or someone isn’t cooperating, having a skilled lawyer on your side becomes essential.
