Dealing with Joanne at Lovedays Family department was always a positive experience. She made sure I fully understood my legal situation and her communication style, always so clear and concise, helped me navigate my way through a difficult time.

I worked with Joanne Joyce and the team at Lovedays when my relationship broke down suddenly and I needed to understand my next steps in what was both a frightening, unexpected and complicated situation. Joanne was both supportive and informative and helped me gain closure swiftly, cleanly and without prolonged mitigation. I would recommend Lovedays highly to anybody who needs legal support.
Joanne was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process of my family matter. Joanne provided sound pragmatic advice whilst being empathetic and truly supportive. Joanne was always quick and responsive at all times and always provided such sound advice, which I am and always will be so grateful for. Super professional service all around, delivered in a friendly and relaxed manner whilst providing reassurance at one of the most difficult and testing points in your life. I would not hesitate in recommending Joanne.

    Family Law Frequently Asked Questions

    Below are answers to some of the questions we hear most often. Whether you’re curious about timings, costs or next steps, this FAQ is designed to give you clear, straightforward information so you know exactly what to expect as we work together on your family law matter.

    How much does a consultation cost?

    It’s completely free and comes with no obligation.

    What should I bring to my free initial consultation?

    Please bring any relevant documents (marriage certificate, financial statements, any existing court orders) and a list of questions or concerns - this helps us give you the clearest advice from the start.

    What if my case ends up in court?

    We’ll represent you at every hearing, handling paperwork and negotiations so you don’t have to face it alone.

    Do you offer mediation or collaborative law services?

    Yes. We have accredited family mediators on our team who can help you and your ex-partner reach agreements amicably - often faster and more cost-effectively than going to court.
