Family law in Alberton

Family law, handled with care

Divorce, maintenance and custody are not just cases. They are some of the hardest weeks of a person's life, and our job is to carry the legal weight so you can carry the rest.

Family matters we handle

  • Divorce

    Contested or uncontested, we protect your interests while keeping the process as short, and as civil, as it can be.

  • Maintenance

    Fair maintenance arrangements for children and spouses, whether you are claiming or being claimed from.

  • Custody and parenting plans

    Arrangements that put the children first and stand up in court, because they were drawn up properly the first time.

  • Protection orders

    Fast, discreet help when safety is at stake. If the matter is urgent, phone us rather than emailing.

Experience on both sides of the bench

Family matters are decided by courts, so it helps that one of us spent decades on the bench. Walter Snr's years as a magistrate mean we prepare your matter the way the court will actually weigh it, not the way we hope it might. Walter Jnr argues these matters in court today, and continues the standard his father set.

Just as importantly: we are a family working together, every day, in the same office. We understand what family means, what it costs when it fractures, and why the best outcome is sometimes the one that lets people stay civil at the next school concert. As family law attorneys, our advice aims at your life after the case, not just the case itself.

You will deal with the same attorney from the first consultation to the final order. Everything you tell us stays in the family: ours, protecting yours.

The first conversation costs you nothing but honesty.

Tell us where things stand. We will tell you what the law can do, what it will likely cost, and whether you need us at all.
