Children’s Matters

The welfare of children is paramount in any family law dispute. We can help you achieve a parenting plan or parenting/custody orders that address you and your child’s needs. Whether the process involves negotiation, mediation or other processes, we’re there to help you and your children achieve the best results and a lasting, positive outcome that allows you and your children to move forward.

Property Settlements

Property settlements, especially in high-stakes scenarios involving substantial assets or business entities, demand strategic legal expertise. We work with you to advise you on complex property disputes, ensuring an equitable division of assets and liabilities. Our services include crafting binding financial agreements and consent orders, tailored to protect your financial interests.

Spousal Maintenance

Post-separation financial stability is crucial, and our spousal maintenance services are designed to ensure fairness and support. We assess each case meticulously, advocating for fair maintenance arrangements that reflect the unique circumstances of each client.

Collaborative Process

Collaborative Law is a relatively new way of working together with the other party to collaboratively, under the guide of a coach or other facilitator, work out final terms of settlements with each other involving property, children and more where court and the associated cost is avoided.

Family Business and Asset Protection

Protecting your business and assets during a family breakdown is critical to your future. We offer specialized advice for managing family businesses and safeguarding assets before, leading up to and during separation or divorce proceedings,

Alternative Dispute Resolution

ADR methods, such as mediation, offer a less adversarial and more cost-effective solution to family disputes. We facilitate these processes, aiming for amicable resolutions that benefit all parties involved, especially when children’s futures are at stake.

Child Protection

Child protection cases are among the most sensitive and challenging aspects of family law. We offer the expertise and compassion needed to handle these delicate matters, ensuring the safety and best interests of the children are always at the forefront.

Family violence is a grave concern, and our legal services extend to obtaining or responding to intervention orders. We provide robust representation and sensitive counsel to those affected by family violence, prioritizing their safety and well-being.
