Who is Julie Hodge The Family Lawyer?
I am Julie Hodge The Family Lawyer. I am passionate about educating people about separation and divorce so that they may play a positive and active role in their settlement and build a new future for themselves and their families. I am a Cairns local, a wife and mother to two boys.

I commenced working as a family and divorce lawyer in Australia in 2007. I am a trained collaborative law professional. My expertise was recognised in the Doyle’s Guide to the Australian Legal Profession in the list of Leading North Queensland Family & Divorce Lawyers for 2016 to 2019, 2022-2023 and 2025.

During my time as a family and divorce lawyer, I was also involved with many legal organisations, volunteering as a family lawyer at the Cairns Community Legal Centre and North Queensland Women’s Legal Service and educating members of the public via presentations for CPA Australia and M-Powered Women Cairns.

This blog site and my book are designed as information sources for people experiencing separation and divorce and those that support them.
