The death of a loved one might be hard to contemplate, even if you know that they are very unwell, or if they are getting on in years. In some cases, the death might take you completely by surprise.
Regardless of how it occurs, you may be going into the aftermath of a death completely unprepared for the legal ramifications, and this is where Ryan & Seton Lawyers’ team of experienced deceased estates lawyers can offer you assistance.
In Australia, the law is a large and sprawling thing, often connected to the Colonial past. No single lawyer can be an expert in all fields of law, so it makes sense that they would form practices with lawyers practicing in different areas, just as Ryan & Seton Lawyers have.
Understanding the types of specialists available to you can help you when you are searching for Central Coast lawyers.
Relationships are the foundation of society. We are social animals. Yet the need for family law solicitors is telling.
We live in stressful times. Work can be overwhelming. It can so quickly take on the characteristics of a runaway train. And raising a family is no less complicated. Finding suitable schools. Dealing with peer pressures and NAPLAN testing. Then cyber bullying rears its ugly head. It’s always something.
No wonder couples on the Central Coast, like everywhere else, find themselves in need of good family law solicitors.
The time has come for you and your spouse to go your separate ways, and a divorce is the cleanest way to ensure that you are both free to be with other people. If your spouse has asked you for a divorce, you may not be sure what happens next.
To help you understand why you need divorce lawyers on the Central Coast, Ryan & Seton Lawyers have some information on what it means to get a divorce in Australia.
Toukley and Erina based law firm, Ryan & Seton Lawyers, took out the 2019 Regional/Suburban Law Firm of the Year category at the prestigious Lawyers Weekly Australian Law Awards last Friday at The Star, Sydney. Nominated as finalists in this category for the second year running, the firm won this year against nine other finalists from around the nation.

The Regional/Suburban Law Firm of the Year award recognises outstanding performance by a law firm operating in regional, remote or suburban Australia.
A recent post on the QI Facebook page led the writer to a study of tyromancy – the medieval practice of divination from cheese.
The practice involved a tyromancer (a practitioner of tyromancy, of course) observing the coagulation of a piece of cheese and interpreting the patterns and characteristics. The shapes, patterns and holes were used to predict the future and determine the past.
We often deal with issues involving children’s car seats. Not so much with infringements and the ensuing fines and demerit points, but more often as a contentious issue in an adversarial parenting matter.
It is important to comply with national child restraint laws. Primarily, for the safety of the child. Secondarily, and for people involved in parenting disputes, to reduce areas of agitation.
If the police ask you to participate in an interview, you can decline. Client’s often ask whether they should do so. We will address some of the considerations in this article.
Right to silence
You have a right to remain silent and, for the most part, this cannot be held against you. However, you should be mindful of the following:
Immunisation rates in Australia are falling. Some parents want their children vaccinated. Others do not. When parents separate, the Family Court can be asked to decide whether vaccination is in a child’s best interests.
In the courtroom context, parents opposed to vaccination argue that it will have harmful or adverse impacts on their children or that vaccination will aggravate a pre-existing medical condition. They choose to not vaccinate amidst reported concerns about the safety of vaccines and the possible side effects. (We must stress at this juncture that we do not propose to weigh into the debate about the validity or otherwise of research that purports to have found causative links between vaccinations and certain conditions.)
The biggest change to the Family Law system since the creation of its current form in 1975 is about to be made. Faster and better outcomes are to be delivered. The Family Court of Australia will be merged with the Federal Circuit Court. A single entry point for all family law matters will be created.
The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia will arrive on 1 January 2019. The new, larger court has been designed to reduce the complexity, delay and cost.
