Gabriella Pomare is a family lawyer, award-winning author, speaker and media commentator redefining the way we talk about separation, motherhood, and rebuilding life when it doesn’t go to plan.

For more than a decade, Gabriella has worked exclusively in family law, guiding families through separation with clarity, dignity and a deeply child-centered approach. She is a Partner at The Norton Law Group Family Lawyers in Sydney, where she advises on complex parenting and property matters, including international relocation cases, high-net-worth disputes and matters involving family violence.

But Gabriella’s work has never been limited to legal outcomes alone.

What sets her apart is her ability to sit at the intersection of law, lived experience and emotional intelligence — translating complexity into language people can actually use in real life. Her work speaks not just to how families separate, but to how women and parents rebuild identity, confidence and stability afterwards.

Gabriella studied law and journalism at the University of New South Wales and completed part of her legal studies at Columbia Law School in New York. This dual background shaped her distinctive voice: authoritative yet human, rigorous yet deeply relatable.

Gabriella is the author of The Collaborative Co-Parent (Morgan James, 2025), an internationally recognised guide to modern, child-focused co-parenting. The book has been named a Distinguished Favorite in the Parenting category of the 2025 NYC Big Book Awards and a finalist in the 2025 ABLE Book Awards.

Blending professional expertise with lived experience as a separated parent, the book offers parents a practical roadmap for reducing conflict, communicating with clarity and creating emotionally safer family systems. Its central message is simple but powerful: children should be put at the center of family restructuring — never in the middle.

As Gabriella’s work has evolved, so has the conversation.

While co-parenting remains a core pillar of her expertise, her broader focus now extends to the inner work that follows separation: motherhood, the mental load, perfectionism, ambition, identity shifts, resilience and the quiet juggle women carry while rebuilding their lives. These themes form the foundation of her next body of work — exploring what happens after survival, and how women begin again with intention rather than pressure.

Gabriella is a sought-after media commentator and speaker, with appearances across major US and Australian television, podcasts and digital platforms, including NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, Good Day New York, The Today Show, The Morning Show, and more. She has completed a US media tour across New York and Los Angeles and delivered dozens of interviews on co-parenting, motherhood, rebuilding after separation, emotional resilience and leadership.

With a highly engaged global audience across social media and her online platforms, Gabriella’s work resonates because it reflects real life — not ideals. She speaks to women who are capable and exhausted, ambitious and stretched, rebuilding while still holding everyone else together.

Her message challenges outdated narratives that ask women to cope quietly or aim for perfection. Instead, she advocates for emotional leadership — at home, at work and within ourselves — and for learning which balls must be held, and which can finally be put down.

Through her legal practice, writing, speaking and platform, Gabriella is leading a global movement to reframe separation not as the breakdown of a family, but as the creation of a new one — with new rules, healthier boundaries and greater emotional awareness.

At the same time, her work increasingly speaks to the universal experience of rebuilding: how women redefine themselves after life fractures, how motherhood and ambition coexist, and how healing unfolds long after the logistics are complete.

When she’s not in court or on camera, Gabriella is at home in Sydney — balancing motherhood, law, writing and purpose. Her children inspire her every day to keep reshaping the narrative of separation, womanhood and resilience — from conflict to connection, from perfection to presence, and from survival to growth.
