About Family law
At MIC Lawyers, we understand that family law isn’t just about legal rules—it’s about people, relationships, and 
very often emotions. Located in Auburn and Parramatta, our Sydney‐based firm offers guidance for everything 
from planning finances before a relationship, through to resolving issues when relationships end. We aim to be 
more than your lawyer—we strive to be your trusted advisor through some of life’s most challenging 
transitions.
Our 
Philosophy & 
Commitment
• Whole-situation view: We take time to 
understand not just the legal facts, but your 
feelings, priorities, and what “success” means to 
you. 
• Compassionate legal service: Family law is 
emotionally taxing. We combine empathy with 
clarity, so you always know where things stand 
and what to expect. 
• Strategic & practical solutions: We don’t just 
aim for legal correctness—we aim for outcomes 
that are fair, durable, and manageable for your 
future.

Frequently Asked 
Questions (FAQs)
How do I start the divorce process?
•  You must be separated for at least 12 months and show the marriage has irretrievably broken down. Then file

the Order is granted, it becomes final one month and a day later.
Can I get sole custody of my children?

stability, and what works long term. 
What about splitting assets?
•  We assess your finances in full, including shared property and individual assets; negotiate fair settlement; 
formalize it via agreement or court order.
How long will all this take?
•  Divorce: ~4-6 months after filing; Property-financial settlements: 6-12 months depending on how complicated 
things are; Parenting orders depend on negotiations or court scheduling.
