Children, siblings, parents; adoptions, relationships, separations: your family situation is unique and our advice is tailored to your circumstances. We act as mediators between parties, or as advocates and litigators for individuals including children.

• for couples: domestic partnership registrations; cohabitation agreements, "prenups" or marriage contracts
• for vulnerable people: guardianships, elder and long-term care advice
• if you are separating: divorce, common-law separation, or same-sex separation; property division; trust claims for unmarried couples; financial support; tax and estate planning after separation
• enforcement or variation of court orders.
