Melissa Losinski

Melissa appears in the Family Court on a regular basis. Melissa is also one of a handful of solicitors in Western Australia who is qualified to practise in the area of Collaborative Law and is the Secretary and Treasurer of Collaborative Law Professionals WA. She has given papers at seminars to other lawyers on a Collaborative Law approach.

Melissa focuses on financial matters including property settlement and spousal maintenance issues. Her expertise enables clients to identify the nature and extent of the relevant assets and liabilities so that she can advise fully upon the likely outcomes should the matter proceed to a court hearing.

She has particular experience in dealing with large asset pools involving complex financial structures.

While the emphasis of Melissa's practice is on financial matters she also acts for clients in resolving the often difficult and sensitive issues that can arise between parents who do not live together, such as where their children should live, how much time should be spent with the other parent and how the children can move easily from one household to another.

Melissa's experience extends to representing clients in recovery and relocation applications when children have been taken interstate or moved elsewhere in the State. She has also dealt with cases involving allegations of child abuse.
