Nadine Udorovic

Nadine Udorovic works exclusively in Family Law and De Facto Law and has done so since being admitted to practice in Australia in April 2005.

While Nadine has worked across all facets of Family Law, she has particular experience and expertise in complex children’s domestic and international Family Law matters; surrogacy (both commercial and domestic); complex property matters; and Intervention Orders.

Nadine also has extensive experience in the preparation of Binding Financial Agreements for both married and de facto parties and Child Support Agreements.

Nadine prides herself on, and is widely recognised for, her ability to pursue the best possible outcomes for clients while maintaining respectful, compassionate and professional relationships with all parties involved.

When parties separate, often one of the most challenging aspects of the separation is how the assets of the relationship will be divided. Nadine aims, wherever possible, to help parties settle property matters without recourse to Court.

Nadine’s training, qualifications and expertise in Collaborative Practice approaches to Family Law - with their focus on keeping people out of court – informs her approach to resolving complex property matters.

Similarly, Nadine regularly conducts ‘round table’ informal mediation conferences aimed at settling complex property matters outside the court room.

In the event that parties cannot agree to a property settlement and the matter does proceed to Court or requires mediation or collaboration, Nadine is experienced in providing representation to clients throughout the processes of both alternative dispute resolution and the court process and can provide advice in relation to the relevant considerations of the court when determining the division of property between parties. As part of this work Nadine is also highly experienced at providing advice and assistance with the preparation of Consent Orders to be filed with the Family Court of Australia, as well as Binding Financial Agreements.

Binding Financial Agreements (otherwise known as “prenuptial agreements” or “BFAs”) can be entered into by parties to a relationship prior to or at the commencement of a relationship; during the relationship; or following a relationship breakdown; and can relate to married couples, de-facto relationships and same-sex couples.

Binding Financial Agreements can deal with issues such as property settlement in the event of a relationship breakdown and financial support including spousal maintenance. Nadine has extensive experience in the preparation of Binding Financial Agreements for both married and de facto couples.

Nadine assists many clients on a pro bono basis and partners with a number of not-for-profit organisations and foundations locally, nationally and internationally. Nicholes Family Lawyers currently works with clients referred from the Women’s Information and Referral Exchange (WIRE), Justice Connect, Royal Children’s Hospital, The Alfred “Help Patient Clinic”, Children’s Rights International, Project Respect and the World Congress on Family Law & Children’s Rights.

Nadine also speaks Croatian.
