Best Divorce Lawyer Wollongong

Separation and divorce are life-changing events. Having the right lawyer by your side can make the process clearer, calmer, and more manageable. At Wallen Family Law, we practise exclusively in family law, with dedicated experience guiding clients in Wollongong and the Illawarra through every step of divorce and related matters.

Why Work With Wallen Family Law?

  1. Exclusive focus on family law
    Unlike generalist firms, all of our work is dedicated to parenting, property, divorce, child support, and family law matters. This means our knowledge is deep, current, and tailored to your needs.

  2. Led by Principal Solicitor Melody van der Wallen
    Melody has over 10 years’ experience in the legal field and a background in property and commercial law. This unique combination gives her strong insight into complex family property settlements, particularly those involving businesses or trusts.

  3. Fixed-fee divorce services
    For straightforward divorces, we offer fixed-fee packages so you know the cost upfront. This takes away uncertainty and lets you plan with confidence.

We understand that divorce is not just about a legal process — it’s about your future. Our philosophy is resolution-focused:

  • We aim to resolve matters collaboratively where possible,

  • We ensure your rights and interests are protected,

  • We provide practical advice in plain English, without jargon.

Our Approach

Divorce and Related Issues

Divorce is often just one part of the picture. Alongside divorce applications, we can also assist with:

  • Property settlements — dividing assets fairly, formalising agreements,

  • Parenting arrangements — ensuring children’s best interests are prioritised,

  • Spousal maintenance and child support,

  • Consent Orders and Binding Financial Agreements to make agreements legally binding.

Local Knowledge, Local Support

We are based in Wollongong and serve families across the Illawarra, including Shellharbour, Kiama, and surrounding suburbs. Our goal is to provide clarity and strong guidance during what can feel like the most uncertain time in your life.
