AREAS OF PRACTICE
Divorce and family disputes
A lawyer can help you talk through divorce, child maintenance, where your child will live and how to divide marital property.
When to speak to a lawyer
You’re preparing for a divorce
Talk to the lawyer about what still needs to be resolved and what you’ve already agreed. Have your marriage certificate and any court notice ready.
Child maintenance or where your child will live
Explain what arrangements you have now and where you disagree. Mention any written agreement or earlier court decision.
You need to divide marital property
List the property you want to divide and note when you acquired it. A lawyer can review any agreements and register extracts and talk through your options.
What to ask at your consultation
“We’ve agreed on child maintenance and where our child will live. What should I bring if we still disagree about property?”
List the property you still need to divide. Bring any purchase agreements or extracts from the property register you have.
What to prepare for your first meeting
- The issues you want to resolve and what you’ve already agreed.
- Any marriage or property documents, written agreements and court decisions you have.
