Traditional Negotiation and Court Proceedings

Many cases do not require an application to the Court.

If you and your spouse or partner are willing to be open and honest and are looking for a fair solution where you keep control of the outcome, it should be possible for us to negotiate a settlement either through correspondence or round a table.

Your lawyer will then draft a legally binding document setting out the agreement reached. If appropriate this will be ratified by the court.

Although ideally most people would wish to deal with their disputes without the need for applications to be made to the court, there are times when it is necessary for the court to become involved.

For example, when there are concerns about money being hidden or dissipated or one person is not prepared to negotiate a fair outcome. In these circumstances, as experienced litigators and advocates we will thoroughly prepare and present your case, keeping you informed at all times and supporting you through the process.
