• DIVORCE AND SEPARATION
  

  You do not enter into marriage thinking that things will go wrong. However, currently one marriage in three in this country ends in divorce. Our aim is to help you through this stressful time and look toward the future.

  
  
• CHILDREN ISSUES
  

  The decision about where your child will live and how often they will see the other parent after separation is often a difficult one. It is always beneficial for your child if you can agree amicably. However, in some cases it is not that straight forward.

  
  
• COHABITATION
  

  If you are living with your partner, you may require legal advice if you separate. There are a number of myths surrounding the rights of couples who live together.

  
  
• PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
  

  Even before you enter into marriage, you may want to put in place a pre-nuptial agreement setting out what you want to happen to your assets, should the marriage end in divorce.

  
  
• DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
  

  Some marriages or relationships end in, or because of, violence and injunctions may become necessary to protect you or your children.

  
  
• CLAIM’S AGAINST A SPOUSE’S ESTATE
  

  If you are separated or divorced and your former partner dies, issues may arise regarding their Will. This is especially the case if there is a second spouse, partner or extended family.

  
  
• COLLABORATIVE LAW AND MEDIATION
  

  Issues between you and your former partner do not necessarily need to involve the Court, as Collaborative Law and Mediation offer solutions that may often be speedier, less confrontational and more cost effective.
