CHILD CUSTODY

CHILD CUSTODY


Resolve matters about child custody in a dignified, civil and legally binding manner with the help of our lawyers. Whether you are seeking full-time or part-time custody of your child, our solicitors are ready to represent your interests during mediation or a court case.

PROPERTY SETTLEMENTS

PROPERTY SETTLEMENTS


If you have shared property with your partner or spouse, a divorce or separation can mean having to resolve matters of ownership. When you provide our lawyers with the relevant documents, we can assess your legal claim to those properties.


DIVORCE FILINGS

DIVORCE FILINGS


If you have decided to file for divorce, our lawyers can guide you through the process and fill out and file in court the relevant paperwork on your behalf. Clients who want information on what divorce entails, but are not ready to take that step, are still welcome to seek our guidance.


FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS

FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS


Our attorneys can help clients enter into financial agreements with their ex-partners or spouses. These agreements can pertain to spousal support, child support, dividing property or splitting the bank balance of the couple.


SPOUSAL & CHILD SUPPORT

SPOUSAL & CHILD SUPPORT


If you are ending a relationship or marriage, but you rely on your partner to cover your expenses, you may be eligible for spousal support. Our attorneys can assist you in entering into mediation with your former spouse about the matter, or we can file a court case on your behalf.

We also specialise in child support, which is a legally binding sum of money that one partner must pay to the other to cover the expenses associated with raising your child. In most cases, child support is paid to the parent who has a majority of the care of the child.
