A family law lawyer is crucial when divorcing or terminating a registered partnership, establishing child access arrangements, or in disputes about alimony, your pension or your business. But also when you need advice on a cohabitation contract or drafting a parenting plan, guardianship or settling an estate. A lawyer can help you balance both the legal and emotional sides of a family law situation. Most lawyers are also trained as mediators.
