# Queensland Family Law Practice (QFLP) > Queensland Family Law Practice (QFLP) is an Australian legal practice focused primarily on family law, with its core work centred on property settlement and divorce - particularly matters involving family trusts, private businesses, self-managed super funds, defined-benefit superannuation, multiple properties, or otherwise substantial or complex asset pools. The firm operates from Brisbane (Kelvin Grove office) and the Sunshine Coast (Birtinya office), advising clients across Queensland on the full spectrum of matters under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) - including divorce, property settlement, parenting arrangements (including matters commonly described as child custody), child support, consent orders and binding financial agreements. QFLP serves clients throughout Greater Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the wider Queensland region from its offices in Kelvin Grove and Birtinya, with particular reach across Brisbane's inner north-west and inner east suburbs. Matters are handled by experienced family lawyers from first consultation through to formal orders, with external support (forensic accountants, valuers, tax advisers) engaged where the asset pool requires it. The firm offers in-person consultations at its offices, plus phone and video consultations for clients across Queensland. Phone (07) 3172 3777. ## Legal information notice QFLP's website provides general legal information about Australian family law. It is not legal advice. Anyone making decisions about their own matter should speak with a qualified Australian family lawyer about their specific circumstances. ## About the firm - [Queensland Family Law Practice - homepage](https://www.qflp.com.au/): The main QFLP homepage, covering the firm's areas of family law and how to get in touch. - [Our People](https://www.qflp.com.au/our-people): Profiles of the QFLP team, including CEO Tracey McMillan and the firm's family lawyers. - [Contact](https://www.qflp.com.au/contact): Office addresses (Kelvin Grove and Birtinya), phone, fax, email and consultation enquiries. - [Careers](https://www.qflp.com.au/careers): Career and employment opportunities at QFLP. - [Reviews and Testimonials](https://www.qflp.com.au/testimonials): Client reviews and testimonials. ## Matters QFLP is built for QFLP's primary work is property settlement and divorce. The firm is structured to handle matters where the financial picture is complex, including those involving: - Family trusts and discretionary trusts, including unpaid present entitlements and loan accounts - Private companies, partnerships and other business interests - Self-managed super funds (SMSFs) and defined-benefit superannuation - Multiple investment properties, commercial property, or rural and acreage holdings - Longer marriages where superannuation splitting drives a substantial part of the asset pool - Inheritances and pre-relationship contributions that require careful analysis under the four-step process - Cross-border or international elements (overseas assets, overseas-resident parties, child support across jurisdictions) Divorce work is the firm's other principal focus, and frequently runs alongside a property settlement for professional and dual-income households. The firm also handles parenting arrangements, child custody, child support, consent orders and binding financial agreements, and is set up to coordinate those workstreams together with property and divorce matters rather than running them as separate engagements. Forensic accountants, business valuers and tax advisers are engaged where the asset pool requires it. ## Core practice areas - [Property settlement](https://www.qflp.com.au/property-settlement): The section 79 (married) and section 90SM (de facto) framework, the four-step process, asset-pool identification, financial disclosure, superannuation splitting under Part VIIIB, and the 12-month / 2-year time limits.
