Founder

Ashleigh Wisbey

A grateful south coast local, Ashleigh loves basking in nature and enjoying the bustling culture, fine food and great coffee the Illawarra has on offer. When she is not working on matters of family law she can usually be found by the sea and under the sun with her husband, son and her cheeky bernadoodle pup.

How We Do It

Seacliff Family Law provides a tailored approach based on your specific circumstances. No two family law matters are the same. Your family lawyer at Seacliff Family Law will work with you to develop a tailored solution utilising, where appropriate, our 4-step process:

1. IDENTIFY & PLAN

We get to know you, your situation and circumstances. We identify the issues, your needs and goals. From there we set a strategy and plan. This process starts with an initial consultation. We can do this online, by phone or in person. During the initial consultation we get to know the details of your matter, provide you with some preliminary advice, identify any potential issues and outline your options moving forward.

2. information gathering

We gather the necessary information, data and evidence needed for your matter. This may include obtaining certain documents, financial disclosure, an expert report or collaborating with other professionals such as an accountant or financial planner.

3. proposal & resolution pathway

We build a proposal and decide on the most appropriate resolution pathway. This could include one or a combination of direct negotiations between the parties, lawyer assisted negotiations, collaborative law, mediation, arbitration or Court proceedings. Wherever possible we try to keep you out of Court, however in certain circumstances Court proceedings will be necessary.

4. Finalisation

Once an agreement is reached or an outcome is decided, it’s time for things to be documented and formalised. This could be a parenting plan, consent orders, court orders, an arbitration award, financial agreement or child support agreement.

Now it is time for you to move forward with certainty and hope!
