Civil and Family Law

Civil and Family Law

In civil and family matters, clients have the right to approach a court for appropriate relief when their contractual, personal, or family rights are infringed. The firm assists with general civil disputes and matters in the Family and Maintenance Courts, often using court‑annexed mediation to reach practical, cost‑effective solutions.

Key services:

  • Contract disputes, damages claims, and property‑related disputes (e.g. boundary or neighbour issues).
  • Maintenance applications and variations in the Maintenance Court under the Maintenance Act.
  • Use of court‑annexed mediation to resolve disputes without a full trial where this is in the client’s best interests.

Common examples:

  • A client suing a contractor for substandard building work.
  • A parent applying to increase child maintenance due to rising school and medical costs.
  • Neighbours resolving a longstanding boundary dispute through mediated settlement instead of a long trial.
