Family Law

Family matters are personal before they are legal. We listen first, explain clearly, and guide you through with patience and respect — protecting what matters most to you and your children.

Overview

Steady guidance, with care

Divorce, custody and separation are among the hardest things a person goes through. Our role is to lift the legal weight off your shoulders — to give you honest advice, a calm plan and a strong advocate — so you can focus on your family and your future rather than the process.

We favour resolution over conflict wherever it serves you, using mediation and negotiation to reach fair outcomes without unnecessary cost or acrimony. When firmness is needed, we provide it. Family work is charged hourly from $300, always with a clear estimate up front.

What we handle

Typical matters include:

  • Divorce and legal separation
  • Child custody, visitation and support
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
  • Mediation and collaborative divorce
  • Property and financial settlements

FAQ

Good to know

Will we have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many family matters resolve through mediation or negotiation, which is often faster, less costly and far easier on everyone — especially children.
How much will my divorce cost?
Family work is charged hourly from $300, with a clear estimate up front and monthly statements, so you always know where you stand.
How do you approach custody?
We put the children's wellbeing first and work toward a practical, durable arrangement — through agreement wherever possible, and firm advocacy when it isn't.
