Carlos Turini

Carlos Turini is an experienced and highly regarded Family Law specialist with over three decades dedicated to the complex and nuanced field of family law. With an extensive career focused on divorce, de-facto and property matters, parenting arrangements, and both domestic and international relocation of children—including cases involving the Hague Convention on child abduction—Carlos has garnered a reputation for his adept handling of sensitive legal issues. He is skilled in managing contravention and recovery matters, domestic violence cases, and child support and adoption proceedings, even extending his expertise to the adoption of adults. A fervent advocate for alternative dispute resolution (ADR), Carlos was instrumental in establishing the ADR Committee of the ACT Law Society, where he served as the original chair. His commitment to ADR stems from an understanding that most family law issues can be resolved outside the courtroom, allowing parties to negotiate outcomes tailored to their needs rather than being confined to a court-imposed solution. This approach not only fosters creative and satisfactory outcomes but often reduces the strain of prolonged litigation. When court intervention becomes necessary, Carlos provides robust representation, ensuring his clients’ interests are vigorously protected. His career is supported by memberships with the ACT Law Society and the New South Wales Law Society, and he has been an accredited Family Law Specialist by the latter since 1994. Additionally, his skills as an accredited mediator complement his practice by providing clients with a comprehensive suite of dispute resolution options. Carlos' professional journey is further enriched by his bilingual capabilities, offering his services fluently in both English and Spanish, which broadens his reach and accessibility to a diverse clientele. As the principal of Turini McKean Law, Carlos continues to lead with dedication, drawing from his extensive education from the University of New South Wales, where he completed a combined LAW/ARTS degree. Known for his insightful approach and compassionate client service, Carlos remains a pillar in the family law community in both Canberra and Queanbeyan.
