Family Law
We understand the impact a family relationship breakdown can have on all family members whether in a married or de facto situation.
It is often very hard to know where to start when working through matters relating to care of the children, domestic violence issues or how to divide the assets of the relationship in a just and equitable manner.
We can provide a steadying hand during this emotional time, while providing accurate practical legal advice to ensure you regain control of your life and can make decisions for your future that are informed and measured.
Our approach is based on the view that Court is the last resort. However we understand that sometimes there is no other option and we will work with you throughout the Court process to achieve the best possible outcome in those circumstances.
