Family Law
Family matters need firm legal thinking and careful communication.
Published areas of practice include divorce, maintenance, custody, domestic violence, adoption, children’s rights, antenuptial contracts, civil unions and related matrimonial matters.
Typical matters
Support through decisions that affect home, children and finances.
Family law often combines urgency, emotion and long-term consequences. The first useful step is to identify what must happen now, what can be negotiated, and what may require formal proceedings.

What to bring to a first discussion
Depending on the matter, useful starting material may include relevant agreements, court papers, correspondence, proof of income/expenses, parenting arrangements, timelines and any document with a deadline. The firm can advise what is actually required after the first contact.
Do not delay urgent court papers or protection-related matters while gathering a perfect file. Call the office if a deadline or safety concern is involved.
