When couples separate, they need to fairly divide their property that they acquired during their relationship. Property in this case doesn’t just mean real estate.

Child support is often a vital part of child custody cases. Often, one party is less financially secure than the other parent. In these situations, our team can help you secure financial support through a limited or binding child support agreement.
If you’d like to know more or need expert guidance, visit this article on the Child Custody Lawyers for comprehensive information and support.
The safety of you and your children are of the utmost importance to us and the Court. The Court may appoint an independent children’s lawyer to advocate for the child’s best interests and wellbeing. If necessary, we can work with the police to put a protection order in place for your family’s safety.
The Family Law Act defines parental responsibility as all the duties, powers and responsibilities a parent has for their child. According to recent amendments, the Court no longer begins with the assumption of equal shared parental responsibility. However, we still consider it in a child’s interest to have a meaningful relationship with both parents and will work towards that goal as appropriate.
If you’re looking to make parenting arrangements, begin by having an open and honest conversation with your former partner if you can. Try to establish some mutual understanding. After that, we recommend you seek legal advice. Our team will guide you to getting a child custody agreement in place.
