Kalo Law Group

Kalo Law Group, known for its Children's Law practice, supports families throughout Townsville and North Queensland, offering legal guidance with clarity and compassion. Our focus is on family law and child protection because we believe that children deserve the right support in every circumstance. Whether navigating separation or involvement with Child Safety, we guide you through parenting arrangements, divorce, consent orders, mediation and negotiation, grandparent and step-parent representation, child protection investigations, and court proceedings under the Child Protection Act. We also manage kinship and foster care matters, support for parents and extended family, and urgent removals and contact arrangements. Our Director, Kerri Patterson, is a dedicated Children's Lawyer with extensive experience in family and child protection law. She is well-regarded for her composed courtroom presence, adept negotiation skills, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best outcomes for her clients. Based in Townsville, our team partners with parents, carers, grandparents, and extended families across North Queensland. We regularly appear in the Townsville Children’s Court, Townsville Magistrates Court, and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Townsville Registry), as well as Children’s and Magistrates Courts in various locations including Ingham, Charters Towers, Ayr, Bowen, and Mount Isa.
