Family & Relationships

Taking care of family law and relationship matters 

Family and relationship property issues can get messy, but with the right legal advice, it doesn’t have to be that way.  

If you’re moving in with a partner or getting married, we can help you reach a relationship property agreement that’s not only fair and equitable, but will protect you for the long term.

If you’re splitting up with a partner, it’s crucial to get a family lawyer on board at an early stage. It’s our job to be on your side and help you work through the issues relating to your finances, assets, property, and the care and custody of your children. 

We know that separation can be isolating, so we’re here to support you in making decisions that are right for you.

We can help you work through:

Relationship property (pre-nuptial) agreements

Relationship property division

Parenting agreements and orders

Maintenance and child support

Guardianship

Divorce

Adoption orders

When emotions are involved, disagreements can easily get out of hand. Why not leave the tough conversations to us? We’ll work to resolve matters as quickly and cost effectively as possible, so you can get on with your life. 

Call our family law specialists today. We’ve got your back.
