Often clients who are considering a
separation or are concerned about the state of their
relationship consult us for advice. In those confidential
consultations, our role is to arm you with information and
knowledge so that any decisions you make in relation to a
separation are made from an informed basis.
Typically the matters in relation to which we would advise
are:
• the legal consequences of separation;
• strategies to minimize the impact for separation on
children and how to address parenting arrangements in the
short term;
• the range of likely outcomes in terms of:
- arrangements for children;
- interim and ongoing financial support both for children
and spouses; and
- property settlement.
• whether assets held in companies or trusts are part of the
pool of property for division and strategies for accessing
those assets;
• the rights of third parties such as family or business
partners involved in business or co-ownership with the
parties to a marriage or relationship;
• the identification and valuation of assets, particularly
where there are complex financial structures;
• the protection of assets.
