Parenting Issues
Children’s Matters
The ongoing welfare, care and development of your children is the central issue for parents that are going through separation. Unfortunately, the transition after a separation is not always smooth and often requires legal negotiation or even court proceedings. At WMD Law, we understand how trying this time can be for your family. Our large family law team includes male and female lawyers and Accredited Specialists in family law who bring extensive experience to the table when acting for parents, grandparents, as well as in the role of Independent Children’s Lawyers.
Parenting Disputes
When relationships break down and children are involved, it is almost inevitable that there will be some disagreement on the views of what is best for the children. When a dispute requires formal resolution, you need the advice of a dedicated family lawyer to help you reach the desired outcome with the least impact on your family. Our team can refer you to a mediator, advise you on a range of appropriate actions, prepare you for mediation, represent you in negotiations, and, if necessary, court proceedings.
