Keep up to date with the latest news regarding Aston Legal Group.
In a recent Aston Legal Group case, our client engaged us two days after the child was not returned. After attempts to resolve the matter were unsuccessful, our office filed an urgent application seeking the child's recovery. The matter was listed for hearing within seven days.
After considering the Court documents and a Department report, the Senior Judicial Registrar indicated that the child should be returned to the father. Following negotiations, consent orders were reached and the child was returned to our client that same afternoon.
The case involved a complex history of family violence, risk allegations and child protection involvement, demonstrating why urgent parenting matters require careful legal assessment.

Under Australian family law, a BFA can be entered into before, during or after a marriage or de facto relationship. It can address matters including property, financial resources, spousal maintenance and superannuation.
There are also important legal requirements, including independent legal advice for each party and requirements around signing, writing and disclosure.

In this Aston Legal Group case, our clients were the respondents in Personal Safety Intervention Order applications brought in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria at Sunshine. The matter involved allegations of stalking and other prohibited behaviour.
During the hearing, Aston's Principal Lawyer cross-examined the applicant for approximately two hours, including on inconsistencies in her evidence and further and better particulars.
The Court ultimately:
• Refused to grant Final Orders against the respondent husband
• Refused to grant a Final Order against the respondent wife
• Reinstated a Final Order in favour of the respondent wife and her children
• Made a costs order in favour of the respondent husband
