The effective resolution of divorce and parental disputes is our passion and a key focus. In general legal disputes are taxing on the parties involved, but conflict within a family law context is especially difficult.
Painful emotions of loss, grief, depression, denial, anger, fear and uncertainty are prevalent. Financial hardship is common. Parties get worn down, suffer from litigation fatigue and may make shortsighted decisions that are not in the long term best interest of their children and themselves.
We strive to support and guide our clients on this difficult journey and ensure that they receive a fair and equitable outcome. Where children are involved, the resolution of the dispute in a manner that is restorative, promotes the best interest of the children and enables the parents to effectively co-parent in the future, is of key importance.
Key focus areas:
Divorce and termination of civil unions
We combine our in depth knowledge of family, property and commercial law and follow an integrative approach to dispute resolution in the context of the termination of marriages and civil unions.
Whether the conflict revolves around the division of the parties’ assets, maintenance of one of the parties or the children, or care and contact of the children, we have over many years developed the experience, know-how and skills to ensure that you receive the best possible outcome in the circumstances of your particular case. We shall guide and support you through the dissolution process and safeguard your financial interests and relationship with your children.
Although striving to procure the best possible result for our clients, we believe in providing rational, grounded advice about our clients’ risks and realistic chances of success.
Our aim is to resolve disputes in as short a period as possible, with the least amount of legal costs and damage to inter-family relationships, preferably through negotiation and mediation. If necessary though, due to an unrelenting opposing party, we shall fearlessly litigate our client’s case to ensure that our client’s rights are protected and realised.
We have a special interest in divorce matters involving complex commercial interests and business structures, including trusts.
Care and contact disputes involving minor children
Resolving disputes in the best interest of the minor children involved, and maintaining or repairing family bonds in the process, is an objective close to our hearts.
Legal matters involving minor children require a special approach and a legal representative that has the aptitude for and experience in dealing with highly sensitive and emotional parental disputes, with a child centred focus.
We regularly act in care and contact disputes and represent clients in the Children’s Court and High Court.
