Family Law

Family law covers a wide range of domestic issues including the division of property following the end of a relationship or marriage, the care of children, domestic violence and cases involving Child Youth and Family Services (CYFS).

I offer a full range of Family Law services, as follows:

• Adoption
• Guardianship - disputes about schooling, religion, medical care
• Relocation cases - moving to a new town or country
