Alchemy Family Law has specialised its scope within Family Law where coercive control, manipulation tactics (which may include narcissistic-like behaviours) and other forms of family violence have been endured in your marriage or relationship.

Over the last 13 years, we have collected our own statistics of client profiles. The statistics show that 98% of women have left, fled or have been thinking of leaving their marriage or relationship but have been afraid of the consequences.

The statistics have also indicated that the presence of fear (of some sort) has occurred throughout the marriage or relationship, likely over many years. This fear is at the core of family violence and is created by the use of repetitive manipulative behaviours (which may include physical harm) daily and over time.

Fear is a core mechanism of coercive control, which is used to deprive you of your liberties and ensure the loss of your personal freedoms.

It is now, in this climate of change in Family Law, where the complexities of family violence are being considered as a relevant factor when assessing a property settlement.

◈ ALCHEMY ◈

◈ SAFETY FIRST ◈

Uncertainty of physical safety, housing instability, financial crisis and limited economic resources, are just but a few examples of the fallout from leaving your marriage or relationship.

Alchemy prioritises safety from the beginning. This aims to reduce fear that can strengthen resilience.

We then do what needs to be done, calmy, methodically, aligned with legislation and the global recognition of intimate partner violence (“IPV”).
