This experience allowed her to see first-hand the challenges families face in complex parenting and property matters, and it strengthened her passion for finding practical, compassionate solutions that prioritise her clients’ best interests.At EMFL, Nura works closely with individuals and families to help them navigate divorce, property settlements, and parenting arrangements. She is a skilled communicator and listener who takes the time to understand her clients’ circumstances and concerns, providing advice that is clear, empathetic, and tailored to their unique situation.

Our Services
Divorce & Separation
Divorce Services
When married couples separate, there is only one ground for the grant of a Divorce Order, and that is the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. This is established by the parties being separated for a minimum of 12 months prior to Divorce. In some circumstances, parties can be living under the same roof and still be able to establish this ground.
Property Settlement
Expert property settlement lawyers
Edwards Moloney Family Lawyers can assist you and your spouse/partner to come to an agreement in relation to all financial matters and issues arising from the breakdown of a relationship, including the division of all assets and liabilities, spouse maintenance payments, superannuation splitting orders and child support departure Orders.
