Legal-Ease Australia

By John Melia

Presented by a layman and a lawyer, Legal-Ease Australia is designed to demystify the legal process for students, clients, and those who are just curious about how the law works. It will aim to answer simple questions, like what do I do if I get arrested? How does bail work? Should I sign a pre-nup?

We believe there's a disconnect between the law and those it serves. Indeed, most people's first interaction with the law is when they're somehow caught up in it. That's why we want to help demystify the process by explaining the law in layman's terms.

Should I sign a pre-nup?

Should I sign a pre-nup?

Pre-nuptial agreements are fraught with danger, not only for those potentially entering into them, but also for those advising on them. Essentially, they're a contract governing a human relationship, which probably rings alarm bells, as it should. Join us as we explore the ins and outs of biding financial agreements before, during and after relationships with Family Law Barrister Paul Hannan.
