Family Lawyer South Yarra

Looking for a Family Lawyer in South Yarra?

Rowan Skinner is an Accredited Family Law Specialist with the Law Institute of Victoria, bringing over 30 years of experience to his practice—including 15 years as a trial barrister at the Victorian Bar.

Our main office is located on Collins Street in Melbourne’s CBD, just a short tram or train ride from South Yarra. For clients seeking discretion or added convenience, we also offer Zoom appointments.

In addition to family law, we provide criminal law services to South Yarra residents, including advice and representation for intervention orders (IVOs) and family violence matters.

Your first consultation is obligation-free—an opportunity to discuss your situation, understand your legal options, and get a realistic sense of likely outcomes. There’s no pressure to continue beyond this initial meeting.

We encourage a “reality check” approach, helping clients set clear, practical expectations around divorce, property settlement, parenting issues and more.

Our Family Law Services for South Yarra clients include:

• Parenting and child custody arrangements

• Property division and financial settlements

• Child support and spousal maintenance

• Divorce applications

• Relocation applications involving children

• Intervention orders and injunctions

• Binding Financial Agreements (pre- and post-nuptial)

• Surrogacy and donor agreements

Some clients prefer not to work with a lawyer based directly in their suburb, valuing the privacy that comes with taking matters slightly further afield. Our Collins Street office offers this balance—easily accessible from South Yarra, yet private and professional.

Call (03) 9995 9155 to arrange a confidential, no-obligation consultation.
