Contact CM Lawyers

Please call (02) 9557 9000 or send an enquiry before you come in, so we can arrange a time and make sure the right person is available. Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.

Call us on (02) 9557 9000 during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm) rather than using the form, and tell us about any deadline, such as a court date or a settlement date. If you or someone else is in danger, call Triple Zero (000).

Some legal matters have strict time limits, so it’s worth getting advice early. Two common examples:

• Family law property claims. If you were married, an application to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for property orders must generally be made within 12 months of your divorce becoming final. For a de facto relationship, the limit is generally two years from when the relationship ended. After that, you need the Court’s permission or the other party’s agreement, and the Court does not always give permission.
• Claims on a deceased estate (family provision). In NSW, a claim must generally be made within 12 months of the date of death. A later claim can go ahead only if the Supreme Court allows it, which needs a sufficient reason, or if the parties to the case agree.

If you think a deadline may apply to you, please call us on (02) 9557 9000.
