Family Lawyers: Helping you Understand Family Law

Facing family challenges can be emotionally taxing, leaving you feeling uncertain and overwhelmed. We understand the sensitivities involved in family matters and are here to provide expert support that is committed to guiding you through these times with compassion and clarity.

Family law covers a broad range of legal challenges related to families. This includes several key areas, such as:

  • Matrimonial
  • Finance
  • Child law
  • Inheritance law
  • Surrogacy
  • Defamation

Typical issues within this field involve divorce, separation, wealth protection, and child arrangements.

The Importance of Legal Support

Seeking legal support when dealing with family matters can make a tangible difference, particularly when conflict is involved.

Family law lawyers offer impartial advice and guidance, and this support is invaluable in helping to navigate difficult conversations and legal procedures, ensuring your rights are protected throughout the process and that you come to a resolution.

Services We Offer: Divorce & Separation

Our specialist family law team provides family legal advice and support across a range of family law services, including divorce and separation. Where couples wish to separate without officially ending their marriage, our family law lawyers can offer support to obtain a legal separation.

Our family lawyers can help couples to draft a separation agreement detailing how family law matters will be handled. These agreements often cover vital aspects such as:

  • How assets will be divided.
  • If spousal support will be paid.
  • Where will any children live?

When divorcing or separating, couples with children often have to determine child residence and child contact in family law matters. To determine where a child will live after a divorce, it may be necessary to apply for a Child Arrangements Order.

 

Such orders are used to determine not just where children will live but also how much contact they will have with each of their parents, and what types of contact will take place (for instance, visits or phone calls), with the assistance of our family law specialist.

Our team provides clear breakdowns of costs, so you can proceed with confidence, fully aware of the investment required to secure expert legal advice.
