Make an enquiry →

Family matters are personal before they are legal. We listen first, explain your options without jargon, and look for resolutions that protect children and relationships wherever possible, while remaining fully prepared to go to court when that is what it takes.

What we handle

  • Mutual-consent and contested divorce
  • Child custody and visitation
  • Maintenance and alimony
  • Protection under the domestic violence law
  • Wills, succession certificates and partition of family property
  • Mediation and negotiated settlements

Common questions

Is what I tell you kept confidential?
Yes. What you share with your advocate is privileged and kept in confidence.
How long does a mutual-consent divorce take?
The law provides a six-month waiting period after the first motion, which the court can waive in suitable cases. The overall time depends on the court and on how complete the settlement terms are.
