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 tactics (which may include narcissistic-like behaviours) and where family violence has been endured.

Over the last 13 years, Alchemy has collected its own statistics of client profiles, revealing 98% of women have left, fled or have been thinking of leaving their marriage or relationship, but have been fearful of the consequences.

The statistics have also indicated that the presence of abuse (of some sort) has occurred during the relationship.

Repetitive manipulative behaviours (which may include physical harm) are used daily and over time to establish fear that creates a loss of personal freedom and the deprivation of your liberties. This is otherwise defined as an act of Coercive Control, that falls under the umbrella of family violence.

It is now, in this climate of change in Family Law, when acts of coercive control are being considered as a relevant factor when assessing your contributions to the marriage or relationship in reaching a property settlement.

◈Safety First◈

A Safety Plan may need to be created when leaving a marriage or relationship where family violence has been experienced.

Uncertainty of physical safety, housing instability, financial crisis and limited economic resources, are just but a few examples of having endured a loss of freedom and certain deprivation of liberties.

These examples are the direct result of acts of coercive control.

Alchemy has been effective when safety has been established first. 

We then do what needs to be done, calmy, methodically, aligned with legislation and the global recognition of violence against women.
