What Can We Do
For You?
We offer a range of premium law services, assisting our clients all over the world.
Family Law
In the beginning, during, or upon the end of a relationship, we can help you by drafting a Relationship Property Agreement that sets out what is to happen to your property and/or how it is to be divided between you. Similarly, in regard to care of children in the event that you separate, we can help to resolve what the children’s care arrangements (if any) are to be.
The Law has strict requirements regarding what is required to bind parties to a Relationship Property Agreement and it is important to ensure that these requirements are met. We can advise you regarding what property should be regarded as separate property and therefore should not be divided between yourself and your partner.
It is important to remember that time and money spent at the beginning of a relationship, to have a binding agreement drawn up, will often save you a lot more money, time and stress later, in the event that the relationship comes to an end.
We have assisted clients in many Family Court proceedings including those involving:
- Property Manager and Personal Welfare Guardian Orders
- Parenting Orders (previously Custody & Access Orders)
- Orders preventing Removal of Children from the Jurisdiction
- Hague Convention matters
- Adoption Orders
- Orders for Paternity
- Child Support and Spousal Maintenance
- Domestic Violence Orders
- Dissolution of Marriage
- Relationship Property Orders.
We have been involved in Family Court proceedings in overseas Jurisdictions, such as Australia and Russia, where parties have had relationship property in those Jurisdictions, children have been taken overseas to those countries, there were issues relating to Adoption Orders involving those Countries, and Child Support issues, particularly where New Zealanders have moved to Australia or any other country leaving unresolved child support issues in New Zealand which need to be dealt with.
