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.
