We draft and advise on relationship property agreements and help to negotiate fair and reasonable settlements. Our family lawyers are also able to provide expert advice on situations involving children.
Matters involving relationship property and family are often emotionally charged and challenging for people to address.
We understand these challenges. We take the time to firstly find out what is important to you before explaining the legal position and determining how we can achieve the best outcome to suit your circumstances.
We assist people who are separating or entering into a new relationship to understand the implications of the Property (Relationships) Act 1976. A Relationship Property Agreement may be appropriate, which allows you to set your own rules about the ownership of your property and the arrangements for division in the event your relationship ends.
Our family lawyers specialise in divorce law and separation. In the event of separation, we can help negotiate a fair and reasonable settlement with a former partner, including providing advice in regard to the ongoing care arrangements for any children.
However, where a fair and reasonable settlement is not possible, we can advise you of your Court options and represent you at all stages of the Court process.
Our Wellington family lawyers have the expertise and experience to protect your interests and to guide you to a solution in whatever relationship property or family law matter you are dealing with.
