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.
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.
Typical matters include:
- Divorce and legal separation
- Child custody, visitation and support
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
- Mediation and collaborative divorce
- Property and financial settlements
- Free 30-minute consultation
- Compassionate, plain-English advice
- Mediation-first where possible
- Monthly statements
