Family Law

We have established a significant reputation in solving legal problems relating to the family. Our enthusiasm, passion and quality is reflected in our commitment to the family and in our desire to support children and parents when they go through legal processes. By dealing with family matters in a conciliatory and supportive way, we help to minimise disputes and expense. We are members of The Law Society Family Panel, the Law Society Family Mediation Panel and The Law Society Children Panel. Whatever your domestic or family troubles we can offer you sound, practical advice on:

• Separation - we can draw up an agreement providing financial security.
• Divorce - you will need to convince the Court that your marriage has irretrievably broken down.
• Children - we will explain conciliation and mediation, and represent you in Court if needed.
• Assets & Finance - we can help you reach agreements on splitting assets and payment of maintenance.

  Although it is expected that the issue of pre-nuptual agreements will be reviewed shortly, the recent case of Radmacher v Granatino reiterates the courts willingness to stand by these pre marriage contracts – subject to their fairness. We offer advice on their drafting.

• Domestic Violence - if you have experienced personal assault or are suffering from harassment, we may be able to apply for an injunction to protect you and your family.
• Family Mediation and Collaborative Law – We are able to offer these services to families keen to resolve issues on the breakdown of their relationship in a constructive and positive way. We can help both parties achieve a satisfactory and appropriate resolution without the need to involve the courts
