Common questions
Is what I tell you kept confidential?
Yes. What you share with your advocate about your legal matter is confidential. You can speak openly in your consultation.
We both agree to separate. Does it still need to go to court?
Yes, but a divorce by mutual consent is usually simpler and less stressful than a contested one. We can explain the steps and what you will both need to agree on.
How is custody of children decided?
Courts focus on what is best for the child. Each family is different, so we will talk through your circumstances and what a court is likely to consider.
These answers are general information, not legal advice. Every situation is different. Speak with us about yours.
