Family & Matrimonial Law.
Family matters are deeply personal. We bring calm, clear-eyed advice to marriages that are ending, families in dispute, and children whose interests need protecting.
Our approach.
Most family disputes are resolved better, and sooner, when emotion is separated from strategy. We begin by understanding what you truly need to protect: your children, your home, your dignity. We then advise honestly on the options, including settlement where it serves you, and litigation where it is unavoidable.
Matters we handle
- Divorce: mutual consent and contested
- Child custody, guardianship and visitation
- Maintenance and alimony
- Domestic violence and protection orders
- Restitution of conjugal rights
- Settlement agreements and mediation
- Marriage registration and related documentation
- Family court appeals and enforcement
What to expect.

Questions we hear often.
How long does a divorce take?
It depends on the route. A mutual consent divorce is usually far quicker than a contested one, which can run for a considerable time. We give you a realistic view of the likely timeline once we understand the facts.
Can custody arrangements be changed later?
Courts decide custody on the welfare of the child, and arrangements can be revisited if circumstances change materially. We advise on when an application is likely to be considered.
Is it possible to resolve matters without a trial?
Often, yes. Negotiated settlements and mediation can protect privacy and reduce cost and stress. We pursue these where they genuinely serve your interests.
