Family disputes are difficult by nature. We handle them with sensitivity and a firm focus on your long-term interests, especially where children are involved.
We advise on and appear in matters of divorce (contested and mutual consent), maintenance and alimony, child custody and guardianship, domestic violence proceedings, and succession, wills and family settlements.
What we do
- Mutual consent and contested divorce
- Maintenance, alimony and interim support
- Child custody, visitation and guardianship
- Protection under the Domestic Violence Act
- Wills, probate, succession certificates and legal heirship
- Family settlement agreements and partition
Common questions
Typically six to eighteen months, depending on the court and whether the statutory cooling-off period is waived. We prepare the settlement terms carefully so they hold.
Courts decide custody on the welfare of the child, and shared or joint arrangements are increasingly common. We help you present a workable parenting plan.
Not strictly, but a properly drafted and executed will prevents disputes later. We also assist with registration and safe custody.
