Family Law Services

I cannot recommend this law firm enough, especially Shania, who has been nothing short of exceptional. Right from the start, she was a total professional and a fierce advocate. Shania knew exactly what I wanted, stayed focused, and went straight for it without hesitation. Her presentation of my case was flawless; her delivery was so sharp it left everyone speechless. She’s been on point every step of the way, and so far, she has secured everything I hoped for, heading into the final hearing with a strong foundation.

I chose this firm because of their deep expertise in handling narcissistic abuse cases, and Shania has demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the complexities involved. This is a lawyer that truly knows what she’s doing, and she’s incredibly dedicated to delivering results. Don’t waste time looking elsewhere—go straight to this firm. Shania knows what you’re going through, understands what you need, and will go above and beyond to get it for you.

Forever grateful to Chris and Rachel and the whole team at Barton Family law for keeping my child and myself safe. They went above and beyond and there were no hidden costs or surprises to stress about such as paying per email or phone call throughout the ordeal. They were upfront and honest and made sure I was well represented. Thank you all so much for everything.

Barton Family Lawyers are an exceptional group of people.

Before my initial consultation, I was confused and felt trapped. I expected to lose what little I had left. Engaging the support of Barton Family Lawyers was a turning point and the single best decision I have made in my life so far.

Chris, Rachel and Chloe were unwavering in their support. No question went unanswered. The expectations and options available were always clear, fair and realistic. Thanks to the teamwork that went on in the background, I was able to start focusing on rebuilding my life before the matter had come close to finalising.

Words do not do justice the level of passion, professionalism, integrity and genuine care that is on display in everything that Barton Family Lawyers does.

Thank you Chris, Rachel, Chloe and the rest of the Barton team. The future of Barton Family Lawyers and its people is bright. No doubt the same can be said of anyone else who seeks their support.

I owe my future in large part to you and will be a lifelong advocate.

Barton Family Lawyers were fantastic – especially Ellie. Ellie was so professional, thoughtful & proactive with her dealings with me. She was always keeping me updated & was so genuine in looking after me & my best interests. In the most stressful & difficult time in my life Ellie always went above & beyond to ensure this was one area I didn’t need to worry about. I absolutely recommend Ellie & Barton Family Lawyers! 😊

Ellie and Alice make a wonderful team. Ellie is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, precise and approachable. She ensures you have a full understanding of processes and timelines by providing detailed information and maintaining regular contact. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Alice was an integral part of the entire process and really made me feel I always had a point of contact, was calm and considerate no matter the query and really spent quality time assisting when needed. I highly recommended Barton Family Lawyers and this team in particular.

Had the most incredible experience with Barton Family Law. Shinai and the entire team were always so helpful and made me feel like I had someone in my corner fighting for me. They helped navigate me through big life challenges and I always felt supported. The fixed fee agreements took so much of the stress away knowing you’re not paying by the hour – and you get a breakdown of what they’re going to do. Couldn’t recommend enough! I will use them again in a heartbeat if I need to!

Barton Family law handled my separation property settlement, professional and courteous, prompt responses and exceptional advice.
Cailey and Samantha were outstanding and extremely helpful with the whole process.
Highly recommend Barton Family Law for any family law matters

Thank you Shinai and the team at BFL. They were professional, knowlegable and patient with all my queries and concerns throughout the process, and always communicated in a timely manner. The fixed fee arrangement was great, as I was aware of all costs up front, removing further stress in the process. I am so thankful for the wonderful team that guided me with patience and compassion throughout this journey, and achieved the outcome I had hoped for.

Shinai and her team were great to deal with during a difficult seperation.

Professional and understanding from start to finish.

I have no hesitation in recommending Barton Family Lawyers

I researched who I hoped to be the best to represent me when I finally made the decision to go down the road I did. I chose Barton Family Lawyers because of the information on the website and I was not disappointed. I really did not know what I was about to come up against and I could not have asked for or expected to have such an amazing and wonderful team in my corner.
I appreciate all the hard work that was done. They went above and beyond to help me get through the gruelling processes.
Everyone who I came in contact with along the way in the office was always so warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
A special mention of Courtney, Shinai and George. I honestly can not thank them enough and can not express how grateful I am for their time and patience with me. I don’t know how they do what they do. I can only imagine that it must be rewarding when they achieve a good outcome.

Undertaking a drawn out and complicated property settlement, Courtney’s approach was down to earth and practical. Courtney started with the initial consultation, going through each scenario allowing me to make decisions best suited to my circumstances. This was particularly relevant when dealing with the other party in the dispute – who was reticent in consulting on a resolution. Courtney offered a number of different choices and options of retaining expert opinions, allowing me to work with people that were a right fit for me.

Courtney and her team worked above and beyond core business hours to ensure all detailed analysis of documentation, at times within a short turnaround (usually on a Friday at 6pm). This was the real stand out to me, a firm that wasn’t just looking at billable hours but genuinely committed to ensuring care and attention were given when necessary.
As a client, Courtney worked on my behalf and also with me to achieve an outcome that was just and equitable. Giving understanding during periods of frustration and encouragement to just follow the process. I can genuinely say Barton Family Law is a practice that cares about getting the best outcome for their clients no matter how simple or complicated the matter is. I would highly recommend Barton Family Law, Courtney and her team.

I had the pleasure of having Shinai and Courtney represent me in a family matter. Both were delicate and considerate of my situation and achieved the best outcome for property settlement and separation in my divorce. Very grateful for the work they both did.

Knowledgeable, experienced and very professional, always putting my needs first. I would not have made it to the end of my very lengthy settlement had it not been for Courtney and Shinai’s support.

Excellent Family Law Practice. Always quick to answer emails and return phone calls. The team is dedicated to the practice and to the clients. The best results are achieved because they all collaborate on every case. So very pleased with my outcome.

I engaged Courtney and Shinai for a property settlement after being unimpressed with the support and energy given by a previous lawyer. Courtney worked on my settlement whereby I felt my best outcome was being fought for. Shinai was knowledgeable and patient with all my enquiries during a difficult time . Many thanks. Highly recommended.

Courtney and the team were very professional, prompt and upfront in handling the parent order as well as filing my divorce. The team patiently answered all my questions, talked me through the whole process and were very quick in getting the matter settled – which is ideal during a stressful and upsetting period. I highly recommend their services.

I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Elizabeth. She worked hard and diligently to make sure I had the best possible outcome for my situation.
I had an all round positive experience with everyone from Barton family lawyers, but Elizabeth was exceptional. Thank you so much for everything.

Courney is the only person I would call if I ever had any legal issues. Her help, knowledge and experience had helped tremendously through the rough times during my children and property court battle. I highly recommend Barton Family Lawyers!

Found Courtney and George not only to be very professional but also very caring and courteous and I would strongly recommend using their services to family and friends if ever needed.

Courtney is a master at her profession.She promised me she would get my power back ,and she delivered.She is a balance of great empathy and fights for you all the way ,the outcome was exactly what i needed.I highly recommend her and her amazing team,to get you the outcome you want.

I had Cortney help me with my family court matter. I couldnt have asked for a better team. From the start the care and understanding from the whole team at Barton was outstanding. I will be forever grateful for the outcome. If you are after a awesome family lawyer look no further. The photo never would have been possible without Courtney and her team. Thank you

Thank you to Courtney and the Barton team for guiding me through a difficult and confusing separation process. Barton Family Lawyers kept me updated, acted immediately on my questions and instructions and most importantly put my best interests forward at all times.

There really is no way to put a price on the stress relief Barton’s exceptional service, understanding and drive for results brings.

Highly recommended if you want the work done right, first time.

Courtney and her team have gone above and beyond for myself and children. I’m so appreciative of them fighting for what was fair for myself and children.
Courtney knows how to deal with narcissistic behaviour and she had given me support and guidance through this traumatic experience.
Courtney is open with you and honest. Every email she sends or receives comes back to you and she will let you know what is important or not. They helped me through the process with detailed billing.
I could not have found anyone better to deal with my difficult separation than Barton family firm.
Everyone in the team I can’t say how grateful I am to everyone who work on my case. Thank you is not big enough. But I am thankful.
