Where are family law matters heard for Werribee?

Family violence intervention orders are made separately by the Magistrates' Court.
What Victoria-specific rules apply?
Separation, divorce, parenting and property matters in Victoria, including de facto property claims, are decided under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). State law still governs family violence intervention orders, made by the Magistrates' Court under the Family Violence Protection Act 2008 (Vic), and child protection cases, heard by the Family Division of the Children's Court of Victoria. The Law Institute of Victoria accredits family law specialists in the state.
How much does a family lawyer cost in Werribee?
Fees for family lawyers in Werribee depend on the matter, the lawyer's seniority and the fee model (hourly, fixed fee or conditional).
