Family Law

Family law governs the personal and financial consequences of marriage, divorce, matrimonial property, parentage, custody and maintenance. The best interests of the child, privacy of family life and the parties’ social and economic circumstances are considered together in disputes arising in this field.

The court examines the parties’ claims in light of the children’s circumstances, the parties’ social and economic conditions, their property relations and any need for protection. Clearly identifying the claims and the supporting documents before initiating proceedings or filing an application helps define the scope of the dispute.
