Family Law

Family breakdown is always difficult. That’s why you need a divorce lawyer you can trust.

Even if you start off amicable, you may end up going to court. That becomes expensive, and you may end up with no assets left to fight about. If you have children, the court process can make damaged relationships even harder.

Personalised service
for your unique
situation

Every divorce or separation is unique. At your first consultation, we’ll assess your situation and give you clear advice about how to proceed. We monitor how matters progress and prepare for all options.

Where possible, we want clients to achieve a positive divorce and build kindly co-parenting arrangements. Our first preference is to negotiate a settlement, or use negotiation, but sometimes going to court is the only option. Whichever path is best for you, we are committed to looking after your interests. We invest in learning the details of your situation, so we can start from a position of strength, but not arrogance.
