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 beforehand, and it takes 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 does 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 issued 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 though you presume there may be issues on the part of your spouse. Usually, once parties get around the idea of the divorce, they are quick to become reasonable and finalise matters, to save money and time.

Parenting Plans

In the ideal world, parents who have separated, either through a divorce or the end of a relationship, would be able to agree on how contact should be exercised regarding their child. However, there are always issues that linger at the end of a relationship, which causes 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.
