Common questions
Are family matters kept confidential?
Everything you tell us is covered by advocate–client privilege. Family Court proceedings are also conducted with a view to reconciliation and privacy where possible.
Who gets custody of children?
The court decides according to the welfare of the minor, which is the paramount consideration. Age, the child’s needs and each parent’s circumstances are all weighed.
