Over 10 years of experience, since 2014
Family law deals with legal issues that arise within families, particularly during separation or relationship breakdowns — matters that can include divorce, parenting arrangements, and other issues affecting children and families.
Navigating these situations can be emotionally challenging, and it is important to have clear guidance about your rights and options.
At Torrisi Legal, we assist individuals and families with a wide range of family law matters. Our approach focuses on clear communication, practical solutions, and protecting your interests while working towards fair and constructive outcomes.

Family Law Services We Provide
Dissolution of Marriage
Divorce
Divorce is the legal process of formally ending a marriage. In Australia, divorce is granted on the basis that the marriage has broken down irretrievably, usually demonstrated by a period of separation of at least 12 months.
Torrisi Legal assists clients with preparing and filing divorce applications, ensuring the process is handled efficiently and with minimal stress.
Child & Family Matters
Parenting Arrangements
Parenting matters involve decisions about the care, welfare, and development of children following separation — including where children live, how much time they spend with each parent, and how major decisions about their upbringing are made.
Torrisi Legal works with parents to develop practical and child-focused arrangements that prioritise the best interests of the child.
Negotiation & Mediation
Dispute Resolution
Dispute resolution involves resolving family law matters outside of court through processes such as negotiation or mediation. This approach can save time, reduce legal costs, and minimise conflict between parties.
Torrisi Legal supports clients through dispute resolution with the goal of achieving practical and mutually acceptable outcomes.
