"As soon as I met Ezra in person I knew I'd found my lawyer. He was sharp and knowledgeable, but was also really compassionate (and remained so throughout the process)."

"Movement Legal helped me when I needed it most. They explained the process each step of the way and always made me feel assured. I was very satisfied with the outcome and the quality of service."
I'm Ezra, the founder of Movement Legal. I began the firm with a mission to simplify separation law.
I’ve been a lawyer for 15 years. Having spent the last few years working with individuals and couples on their separations and divorces, I’ve been exposed to how complex expensive and troubling the legal system can be for people navigating this stage in their life.
Movement Legal was born from this calling to simplify and streamline the whole process.
Today there are many couples who acknowledge they have reached the end of their relationship, but want to part ways with the least amount of friction possible.
The Benefits of using Movement Legal
Using the Courts as a forum to manage your Separation should only ever be a last resort.
The Courts are slow, massively backlogged, and the Court’s adversarial nature is unnecessary for couples who are not in a high-conflict situation.
Keeping you out of Court
Save stress, time, and expense.
Fast
Our approach has an average 6 week turnaround time.
Online Legals
No need to come in to the office. The team is available online and across Australia.
Transparent Pricing
We provide transparent fees, including fixed fees on most matters. This allows you to budget your legal spend before we commence any work.
Holistic Approach
An end-to-end solution that includes estate planning, wills, conveyancing, mediation, divorce applications (as needed).
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Unsure about how we operate, or with aspects of the separation process? We've compiled a list of commonly asked questions and provided answers for your ease of reference.
How do I get started?
The first step is to contact us, either by our contact form or a phone call. Our team is friendly and approachable.
We will have a 5 - 20 minute discovery call, where we gain a basic understanding of your situation. We will see which of our packages would best suit where you are at, and the outcomes that may be achievable.
We will then send you a formal proposal.
What should I expect in the discovery call?
In our discovery call, we will ask you about the 3 areas of the relationship – assets, children, and whether you and your partner are in a high or low conflict state.
We will then discuss ways we can move you forward, and what may be realistic outcomes.
This enables us to gain a better understanding of your matter, and be able to provide you with a package and course of action as your next step.
How do we determine what is the right package?
From our initial conversation, we will listen carefully to understand your situation and consider some strategies that would be the right fit for both where you are now, and what would be the most optimal outcome. That will guide us in proposing a pathway that is the right fit for you.
We have worked with many individuals and couples to design an approach that has worked well for them, without squeezing anyone into pre-defined boxes.
I am currently using another lawyer. Can I move to your firm?
Yes. If you are currently using another law firm, and would prefer Movement Legal to manage your situation, then we can request the other firm to send us all their file. No need for you to have that awkward conversation.
Do I need to come in to the office to meet with you?
No you don't need to come in. We are fully set up as an online law firm, and can hold any meetings with you via phone, Whatsapp, Zoom or Google Meet.
Can I keep my appointment private?
Absolutely.
All appointments and communications are kept strictly confidential.
Do I have to wait until the divorce has gone through before starting on a property settlement?
You do not need to wait until the divorce has been formalised before working on your property settlement. As soon as you have separated from your ex-partner, you can begin the process.
Assets that have been acquired during the period of separation will be included in the “asset pool” to be divided between the parties. This continues until the date of settlement.
What happens to my house after Separation or Divorce?
Part of this property settlement process will be determining what happens with your house - whether one party remains in it, or if it is sold and the proceeds divided.
Unsure where to start?
We are non-judgemental and approachable. Contact us for an obligation-free, 100% confidential chat.
