Kristy Vukovic is a dedicated Family Lawyer with over 20 years of progressive experience supporting clients through separation, parenting matters, and property settlements. Having worked exclusively in family law across various roles from Secretary to Senior Family Lawyer, Kristy brings both depth of knowledge and real-world perspective to every case she takes on

Her own personal experience with the family law system first sparked her passion for helping others during what is often the most difficult time in their lives. From there, she built a career focused on giving clients clarity, reassurance, and confidence as they navigate their next steps.

Kristy holds a Masters of Applied Law (Family Law) and was admitted to practice in Western Australia in 2013 after completing her studies through the Legal Profession Admission Board in New South Wales, where she now practices.

How She Helps

Kristy is known for her calm and practical approach, offering straightforward advice, free from legal jargon, so her clients feel informed and empowered. She works across a wide range of family law matters, including:

  • Parenting & Children’s Matters
  • Property Settlements
  • Divorce Applications
  • Binding Financial Agreements
  • De Facto & Same Sex Relationships
  • Spousal and Adult Child Maintenance

While she’s a strong advocate when needed, Kristy is always looking for the most efficient, cost-effective path forward—aiming to resolve matters without unnecessary litigation whenever possible.

What Clients Say

Kristy is often described as a “sounding board and a voice of reason.” Clients appreciate her empathy, her honesty, and her ability to help them move forward with dignity and strength.

“Thank you for doing such a wonderful job over these past few years. You are incredible—and I’m so grateful for your guidance.”

Outside the Office

When she’s not working, Kristy enjoys spending time with her husband and their two wonderful boys. She’s also a fan of a good DIY home project—don’t be surprised to find her on the tools!

Guiding Philosophy

“This too shall pass.”

For Kristy, it’s a reminder that neither the highs nor lows last forever. She helps her clients hold on to that perspective, knowing that every chapter—no matter how difficult—can lead to a better one.
