Children custody and living arrangements
Every family is different.

Property and Financial Division
Your property division may be simple or complex, involving businesses, trusts, and pension funds. In either case, we can be of service to you. It is important to get professional legal advice before deciding anything.
Spousal support and maintenance
Spousal support and maintenance usually require urgent court applications. Depending on your particular situation, we will advise you on whether a claim for spousal support may be filed or whether a claim for spousal support may need to be defended.
Divorce Application
Filing for divorce triggers a number of legal time constraints, which may affect your claim for property division and spousal support. We will explain all the procedures and how they relate to each other.
