Experience & Credentials

My background as a family lawyer - from Senior Associate to now Principal - provides a unique advantage in mediation. I understand how family law disputes unfold in court, which allows me to guide clients toward outcomes that are both commercially sensible and legally sound.


When I represent clients as their lawyer, I provide comprehensive family law representation including:

  • parenting disputes

  • property settlements

  • divorce and separation advice

  • negotiation and mediation support

  • court proceedings where necessary.


I'm known for being both strategic and compassionate, tailoring my approach to each client's circumstances and goals rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.


I hold a Masters of Applied Law, majoring in Family Law and Family Dispute Resolution, a Bachelor of Laws, and a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice. I was admitted as a solicitor in February 2019 and hold an unrestricted practicing certificate in Queensland.


I've practiced family law exclusively for 7+ years, working across Legal Aid Queensland, private practice, and specialist domestic violence roles. My background also includes experience in investigations and intelligence analysis, which brings a valuable analytical perspective to complex family law matters.


This combined experience has given me a deep understanding of what judges consider, what settlements succeed, and how to navigate Queensland's family law system effectively.


Key Qualifications:

  • Master of Applied Law (Family Law & Family Dispute Resolution)

  • Accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner

  • 7+ years exclusively practicing Queensland family law

  • Background in Investigations and Intelligence Analysis

  • Admitted Solicitor, Queensland (2019)

  • Unrestricted Practicing Certificate

How I work with families

Most family law matters don't need courtroom battles. They need clear guidance, honest advice, and pathways that give you control over your own decisions.

Court as Last Resort

I create opportunities for separated families to resolve disputes through mediation and negotiation wherever possible. This approach saves thousands in legal costs, reduces emotional stress, and protects children from unnecessary conflict. When court is necessary, I provide experienced representation to protect your interests.

Plain Language Advice

You'll receive advice in everyday language, not legal jargon. You deserve to understand exactly where you stand, what your options are, and what happens next at every stage of your matter.

Focused on What Works

Every family's circumstances are different. I provide strategic advice tailored to your situation, focused on outcomes that are both legally sound and workable in the long term.

Children First

In every decision, I consider what's genuinely in your children's best interests. Reducing parental conflict isn't just better financially — it's essential for your children's wellbeing.

Why Choose Munce Legal

My qualifications as both a family lawyer and accredited mediator give you access to complete dispute resolution from one practice. Legal representation when you need advocacy, mediation when collaborative resolution is possible.

Dual Lawyer & Mediator Expertise

  • My combination of legal expertise and accredited mediation skills allow me to protect your legal rights when needed, while creating opportunities to resolve matters without court intervention.

Exclusively Family Law

  • I practise exclusively in family law. This specialisation means deeper knowledge, better strategies, and understanding of what actually works in Queensland family courts.

Transparent & Honest

  • You'll receive honest advice about your options, realistic expectations about outcomes, and clear information about costs.

  • No surprises, no unnecessary complexity.

Local Sunshine Coast Practice

  • Based in Birtinya, I understand the Sunshine Coast community and the specific challenges facing local families.

  • You're working with someone who knows the region, the local courts, and what matters to Sunshine Coast families.
