Family Law services in Wollongong

What this site is
One enquiry, one firm, and no pretending otherwise
- One firm, not a panel Your enquiry is referred on to one independent family law provider covering the Illawarra. It is not broadcast to a list and it is not resold to whoever pays most that week.
- We say what we are This site is run by a marketing company. It is not a law practice and it is not entitled to engage in legal practice, and that sentence sits on the bottom of every page rather than in terms nobody opens.
- No price we cannot stand behind The court's filing fees are on the pricing page with their source and date. What a firm charges for the work is theirs to state in writing, so this site quotes no price of its own.
- The Illawarra, not a national call centre Eleven areas across the Wollongong and Shellharbour council areas. The Federal Circuit and Family Court's Wollongong registry is in the city centre, on Level 1 of the Commonwealth Government Centre.
How it works
Three steps, and the third one is not ours
- Tell us what has happened In as much or as little detail as you want to put in writing. You do not need to know whether it is a property settlement or a parenting matter — that is the firm's job to place.
- It is referred on It is referred on to one independent provider covering this region, with the part of the Illawarra you are in.
- They contact you What your options are, what they would cost and how long anything takes are answered by them, in writing if you ask. This site does not answer any of it.
Family Law across Wollongong
The Illawarra has its own family law registry and it is not a branch of Sydney's. The Federal Circuit and Family Court has a registry in Wollongong, on Level 1 of the Commonwealth Government Centre in the city centre, and the Court's Wollongong page lists 1300 352 000 as its number. The same page lists a family law duty lawyer line, 1800 551 589, and Legal Aid NSW keeps an office in the city. Coverage on this site runs by region, Wollongong and the Shellharbour end of the coast, rather than by suburb.
Where we take enquiries
Suburbs we cover
We take enquiries from eleven areas across the two councils that cover this coast — Wollongong City and Shellharbour. That is the strip between the escarpment and the sea, from Austinmer in the north down to Shellharbour.

Google publishes the four questions people most often ask alongside this search, and they are worth reading before you write. The first is what a family lawyer costs — asked about Australia rather than Wollongong. The second is how to find a good one. The third asks where to get free legal advice in NSW, which is a different thing from this site entirely and worth knowing exists. The fourth is simply when to make contact. Send what has happened and it is referred on. The court's filing fees and time limits are in the Family law costs and rules check, each with its source and the date it was read.
