Family Law  ~
This is an area of law which needs particularly careful handling and Tait & Peterson take pride in their sympathetic and understanding approach to clients requiring this service.

Protecting your rights without aggravating the other party is a very difficult balance and demands particular sensitivity from your advisors and representatives.

Animosity between the parties can tend to prolong matters. It is important to examine each individual's particular circumstances and try to achieve conciliation, if appropriate, so that a line of communication can be kept open between them.

There are often matters which are best dealt with by agreement between those involved so this important aspect should never be overlooked.

Children

The law involving children covers a vast area including: Adoptions, Residence Orders (formerly called "Custody") Contact Orders (formerly called "Access”) Age of Legal Capacity all of which may be contentious, and areas where skilled and experienced advisors can provide valuable assistance.

Separation

Agreements can be drawn up to determine how assets are to be shared sensibly or divided in the event of a failed relationship.

Divorce

bullet How quickly can this be put through?
bullet What are my rights and duties?

These, along with other questions, are quite common and careful and wise advice can save a lot of heartache in the long run.

We can assist you throughout the process of divorce and attempt to make a difficult experience less painful.
