Specialist Family Lawyers
Turini McKean Law is a boutique legal firm serving the Canberra, Queanbeyan, Yass and South Coast region. We specialise in all aspects of family law, property settlements, parenting matters, child support, international Hague Convention matters and divorce.


Our Approach
Turini McKean Law practices family law with an “outcome-based approach,” creating strategic case plans from the outset to achieve appropriate outcomes.
Clients are often unfamiliar with the legal process, seeking solutions rather than conflicts. Carlos and Yolanda’s combined experience ensures affordable cost-effective and compassionate handling of cases.
Accredited family law specialist

He has been involved in complex divorce, de-facto and property matters, parenting matters, matters involving relocation of children (international relocation and relocation within Australia), international abduction of children (Hague Convention) cases, contravention matters, location and recovery of children, domestic violence, child support and adoption cases including adoption of adults.
Yolanda McKean is a family law solicitor who advises clients on parenting disputes, property settlements and complex financial matters arising from separation.
She brings a diverse background to family law, with professional experience in both business management and the healthcare sector. This experience gives her a practical understanding of complex financial arrangements, superannuation and taxation issues, as well as the healthcare and mental health systems that often intersect with family law matters.
Before focusing her practice on family law, Yolanda held senior leadership and executive roles in the healthcare sector. She has also run her own successful small businesses in the hospitality and business services space.
Yolanda now practices at Turini McKean Law, a boutique family law firm she established with her father.
