We understand how difficult and daunting domestic violence can be, so we’ll do everything to ensure you have the best chance at a favourable outcome.

Property Settlements

After a divorce case is started one question many may ask is – which assets are they are entitled to and how should these assets be split?

Some assets may include:

• Property such as land or your home;
• Vehicles;
• Accounts in a bank (individual, joint, or children’s);
• Collectable possessions such as artwork, memorabilia and anything else of value; and Intellectual property or the good will value of a business

We can assist you in arranging independent valuations with real estate agents and other experts to determine a property’s market value so that you can divide your assets appropriately and receive what you are entitled to.

Child Custody & Arrangements

When it comes to divorce cases involving children, the general assumption is that decision-making in these areas will be shared by both parents in order to protect the best interests of the child or children.

This is not always possible, especially when there are safety concerns for the children, such as domestic violence or an abusive partner in the relationship.

In these cases, if the parents cannot agree the Court will ultimately decide the outcome, which could include granting all responsibility to one of the parties or establishing “shared parental responsibility” arrangements for both parties.
