The legal framework of family relationships

Personal and financial consequences often need to be considered together. An initial review takes account of the chronology, available documents and the parties’ requests.

Topics for consideration

Depending on the circumstances of a particular matter:

  • Legal consequences of divorce and separation
  • Child custody and personal contact
  • Maintenance claims
  • Division of matrimonial property

Preparing for a meeting

Existing court orders, correspondence and relevant documents may assist the review. The documents required for a particular matter are discussed during initial contact.

COMMON QUESTIONS
