Alchemy Family Law is a small firm, that operates with fixed fees, specialising in Property and Financial matters. Alchemy also extends its expertise where Coercive Control, Manipulation and Family Violence has been experienced during the relationship.
Over the last 12 years, Alchemy has collected its own statistics of client profiles, revealing 98% of women have left, fled or have been thinking of leaving their relationship, but have been afraid of the consequences.
The statistics have also indicated in these profiles, the presence of Coercive Control has been prevalent. Repetitive and manipulative behaviours used against the other party, over a long period time, that creates fear, is called Coercive Control.
It is now, in this climate of change in Family Law, that Coercive Control needs to be a considered factor when entering into a property settlement.
Alchemy Family Law prioritises physical safety before entering into any Legal Action.
A Safety Plan may need to be created when leaving a relationship where there is Family Violence.
Uncertainty of physical safety, a deep loss of a sense of self and economic control (economic abuse) are just but a few consequences of the complexities of Family Violence. In many cases, we know that sanity needs to be regained as much as possible, in order to face leaving this type of relationship.
Once safety has been established, we do what needs to be done, calmy, methodically and aligned with the legislative definition of Family Violence.
This is where our experience in these matters are strong and reliable.
Alchemy takes the approach of conducting legal proceedings with emotional intelligence and harm minimisation, as there is a probability that Family Violence will spill over into legal proceedings.
Our level of insight with Family Violence gives Alchemy the edge to navigate and disarm these invisible behaviours within the Family Court System.
We are committed to the highest standards of confidentiality and are evidence based.
With informed legal strategies, Alchemy is aware that personal strength needs grow, to be able to ‘fight the good fight’ for freedom.
What makes Alchemy stand out, is our Frankness and Honesty.
We will faithfully engage in a respectful and timely manner and can hold the legal space when things may seem to feel defeating.
Addressing Coercive Control, Family Violence and working hard for a meaningful Property Settlement, within these conditions, are at the principle core of Alchemy Family Law.
