Our family law pricing
We offer a range of pricing solutions to ensure our fees align with the type and complexity of work involved in your matter. We are clear and transparent about our pricing from the outset, so clients know what to expect at each stage.
Our first meeting
Our first meeting will be charged at a fixed fee of $990 inclusive of GST or your lawyer's hourly rate, and typically runs for around 60 minutes. You'll usually meet with two lawyers who work together as your legal team, bringing different levels of experience. This approach helps us provide practical, cost-effective support throughout your matter, with the right people involved at the right stages, based on your needs, goals and budget.
We can meet virtually, or in person at our Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney offices. Before we meet, you will receive access to our online portal where you can provide us with some relevant information about your current situation. You will also receive a link to our payment portal to enable pre-payment of our initial conference fee.
The meeting will be an opportunity for you to provide your legal team with detailed information about the background to your situation and your needs and priorities moving forward. We will give you advice on the legal options available to you, as well as our recommended next steps.
Our ongoing fees
Should you choose to work with us after our first meeting, our legal services will be charged on a time basis. This pricing model ensures transparency, as you are billed for the actual time spent on tasks. Our lawyers' fees are based on the level and depth of their experience, and the size of our team means the legal work can be delegated to the most appropriate lawyer. You will also receive itemised monthly invoices, detailing each piece of work that has been carried out on your behalf, the duration of each task, and by whom.
Lander & Rogers also offers a fixed fee solution for certain family law services, which are set out in detail below.

Lander & Rogers clients who are seeking, or responding to, applications for divorce are eligible for our fixed price service. This provides greater certainty and transparency about the costs of divorce proceedings, which are agreed at the outset.
Services provided as part of the fixed-fee offering include:
- preparing court documents
- providing written advice in relation to the divorce
- court appearances.
Disbursements such as court filing fees and process server fees are charged in addition to our fixed fee.

Couples enter into prenuptial financial agreements before commencing a de facto relationship or marriage. These agreements set out the way in which a couple's assets would be divided if they were to separate in the future.
Prenuptial agreements are recommended for a number of reasons ─ to protect personal or family wealth, provide certainty about the division of joint or individual property, allow more control over a financial settlement, and to avoid the court system.
Lander & Rogers clients entering into a prenuptial agreement may be eligible for a fixed-fee solution, which includes comprehensive advice about your entitlements under the family law legislation, negotiation with your partner's legal representative, and drafting the agreement.
When a separated couple reaches an agreement on the issues arising from the breakdown of their relationship, including parenting and property matters, the agreement can be documented, filed and become legally binding without the need to engage in litigated court proceedings.
Separating couples in this position may access our fixed-fee solution, which involves:
- advice on your entitlements under the family law legislation
- negotiating on your behalf to finalise the terms of settlement
- drafting the required court documents
- filing the court documents
- communicating with the court
- implementing superannuation splitting orders.
This service can also include drafting a financial agreement for spousal maintenance obligations and a child support agreement.
