Our practice areas

We handle proceedings amicably and can assist in various matters, including antenuptial contract drafting and registration, family trust registration, matrimonial dispute resolution, and issues related to access and care for minor children. Our team provides detailed attention to the sensitivity and stress our clients face during challenging times.

Settlement Agreements and Parenting Plans

An agreement represents the shared consent of two or more individuals towards each other. It signifies a convergence of intentions and is established through the process of making an offer and receiving acceptance. Such an agreement can be expressed through spoken or written words, actions, and, occasionally, the absence of objection or silence. Our department can ensure that all parties in an agreement, whether a settlement agreement, parenting plan or various contract, is well protected and fairly treated.

Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Our family law department is one that deals with various aspects of the law, in which we are able to advise our clients on complex and sensitive disputes. Our team is capable of preventing and resolving disputes by assisting and guiding our clients with practical and creative legal advice that focuses on the matter at hand. Our experience includes dispute resolution, mediation, negotiation, conciliation, arbitration and conflict resolution as well as in Court litigation.

Child Rights

Going into a divorce, most parents will attest that the needs of the child come first. Unfortunately, that is often where there are disagreements. Both parents may have dramatically different ideas of what is in the child’s best interest. That is why you need an experienced family law attorney on your side to advocate for you and protect your relationship with your child.

Maintenance for Children and Spouses

As many are aware, the Maintenance Act makes provision for both child and spousal maintenance. However, this obligation does not only lie on the father but the mother as well. The obligation is on both parties of the child to ensure that the child/children has all his/her basic needs. For example, a mother cannot solely rely and expect the father of the child to maintain this child/children if the mother is in a position to do so as well. The same exists with regards to spouses. A husband/partner can institute a claim for spousal maintenance, the same way a wife/partner can institute spousal maintenance against the other party. Our department can ensure that both parties and children are treated fairly and that they are able to have their basic needs taken care of.

Divorce Separation and Mediation

In divorce separation there are various avenues to pursue when going through such an ordeal. Luckily, our law makes provides for avenues that allow your divorce proceedings to be one that is amicable as far as possible. Our family law litigation department is available to assist you in these proceedings, whether it be in an uncontested divorce, which is where you and your spouse work together and agree to the terms of your divorce, a contested divorce, where you and your spouse are unable to agree on the division of your assets and where minor children are involved as well as the mediation process, in which a third party works with both spouses to assist in reaching a settlement agreement.
