Family Lawyers for Sydney’s Inner West
Marrickville’s Leading Family Law Firm
Separation affects every part of family life, from where the children live to how the home and super are divided. Our Marrickville office gives people in Marrickville, Dulwich Hill, Petersham, Enmore, Newtown, Sydenham, Tempe and Earlwood a local place to get clear, practical family law advice.
Many Inner West families share homes, businesses or property, and often one or both partners have family overseas. We regularly help with property settlements that involve investment properties, small businesses and overseas assets, and with parenting arrangements where a parent wants to relocate.
Language should never stand between you and good legal advice. Our team includes people who speak Arabic (including Lebanese Arabic), Greek, Mandarin, Spanish and Vietnamese, so you can explain your situation in the language you are most comfortable with.
From the first conversation, you will know what to expect: what your options are, what the likely next steps are and what it should cost. Book a free, confidential first consultation at our Marrickville office or by phone.

Family Law Matters
Not sure where to start? At Unified Lawyers in Marrickville, our family law solicitors explain where you stand, what your options are and what each path is likely to cost, so you can decide your next step with a clear picture.
Parenting and Children Matters
Parenting arrangements shape your children’s daily lives. Our Marrickville child custody lawyers help with parenting plans, consent orders and court applications, built around your children’s best interests and a routine that works in both homes.
Divorce and Separation
Separation raises practical questions fast: where everyone lives, how bills are paid and when to apply for divorce. Our divorce lawyers in Sydney guide you through each step, including separation under one roof, so you know what to sort out and when.
Property Settlements
Dividing the home, super, businesses and investments takes care, especially when assets are overseas. Our property settlement lawyers work out what is fair, explain the realistic range of outcomes and negotiate firmly on your behalf.
Binding Financial Agreements
A Binding Financial Agreement sets out who keeps what, whether you sign before, during or after a relationship. We draft agreements that protect what matters to you and hold up later. Learn how we can help with a BFA.
Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement gives you both clarity before marriage. We make sure it is fair, properly advised and correctly signed, so it can be relied on if it is ever needed.

The team at Unified Lawyers has been amazing from start to finish. Everyone I dealt with, from the accounts team and customer service staff to the lawyers, was professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. My lawyer, Santino Romanella, supported me through one of the most difficult and complex legal battles of my life. My case involved significant challenges, including interference from third parties, issues involving the misuse of AI, and modern issues of gender-based violence, but he remained calm, focused, and committed throughout the entire process. To me, Santino was like a soldier. He stood his ground, never gave up, and worked tirelessly to protect my rights at every step. No matter what came up, he handled everything with integrity, professionalism, and sound judgment. One piece of advice he often reminded me of was to “be still” and “have composure,” which really helped me stay grounded during such a stressful time.

Jessica Adamovich was outstanding to work with throughout my family law matter. From the very beginning, she listened carefully, understood my concerns, and provided invaluable guidance during what was a very challenging time. Her advice helped me approach each step with a calm, steady mindset, always focused on achieving the best possible outcome. Jessica built a strong professional relationship with me, which made it easy to ask questions and discuss any concerns I had along the way. I always felt supported, informed, and confident knowing she was in my corner. I would happily recommend Jessica Adamovich to anyone navigating the family law system. Her professionalism, knowledge, compassion, and dedication made a difficult process much easier to manage. Thank you Jessica

With Anushkas assistance, and overall hard work, my family matter has progressed with very positive results. I am very happy with how things have progressed, noting that these matters do take time as there is a process to follow, however, Anushka was very reassuring throughout the entire process, providing guidance and clarity for ease of understanding for all of the steps along the way. Donna was also instrumental in assisting with both family and other matters, which overall helped to maintain a positive outlook throughout a challenging period of time. I highly recommend the lawyers at Unified to anyone that is looking for assistance in working towards a positive, balanced and as fair as possible outcome for a given family matter. As my family matter had progressed to a final hearing, Jessica B. was instrumental in providing professional advice, while displaying genuine care for the matter, which further aided in achieving a positive result for my family. Jessica is exceptional in her role as a Senior Associate and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the advice and guidance I received through a very challenging period of time. Thank you very much Jessica and thank you to everyone at Unified, I genuinely appreciate all of your work and would recommend Unified Lawyers to anyone that needed genuine high quality legal assistance.
