Divorce Services
We assist with the following divorce services:
Unopposed or uncontested divorces
These divorces apply when a couple approaches us for a friendly and speedy divorce. The advantage is that of time and money saving. We agree on a fee before hand and it take about 4 weeks to finalise.
Contested Divorces
These divorces would apply when both you and your spouse have not come to an agreement regarding the divorce. The dispute could either be that one party wants a divorce, and the other not, or on some other issue. An issue could be one regarding a dispute in relation to who gets Custody over the Children, or how much maintenance should be paid. If the parties cannot resolve the issues, then a Trial should run. This can be very costly and time consuming.
Most of the time, after a summons has been issues with reasonable requests therein, the matter can easily be resolved. We would be able to set you up with your legal representatives to try to finalise your divorce as soon as possible, even thought you presume there may be issues on the part of your spouse.

Parenting Plans
In the ideal world, parents who have separated, either through a divorce or end of a relationship, would be able to agree on how contact should be exercised regarding their child. However, there are always issues that lingers at the end of a relationship which clauses parents not to want to communicate with each other regarding their children. This is very unfortunate as the person who is prejudiced is the child, and no one else.
If parents are having difficulty regarding exercising aspects of their parental responsibilities and rights, they need to enter into a parenting plan. Once the Plan is in place, all they need to do is follow the plan. Click on the pictures below to set up an appointment with us today.
