Family Affairs
I have helped resolve some of the most complex and contentious family matters in recent years, and can assist with the full suite of issues that your family might encounter, including but no limited to:
Relationship agreements for couples and polyamorous units (including cohabitation agreements, prenups, and postnups)
Divorce matters (including all of the complexities that arise from the separation of ultra-high-net-worth individuals)
Childcare arrangements
Non-Molestation Orders
Domestic Violence
Not all divorces require you both to get a lawyer. Often, one lawyer can help both persons, in a COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE that can save you money.
Prenups are not just for the rich. They can cover more than just money. If you are planning on getting married, message me to find out why they are for everyone, and how a CONDUCT-BASED PRENUP can help you build the future of your dreams.
Many divorce lawyers will tell you that your good behaviour and/or your spouse’s bad behaviour will have little impact on the financial side of your matter. This is silly and lazy. I fight for your achievements to be credited, and for your partner to be punished.

When will Bad Behaviour be Punished by Divorce Courts?
Two divorce judges have provided seemingly incompatible answers to the question of when bad behaviour should be taken into account when a marriage breaks down. I clarify the situation, showing that there is no incompatibility and suggesting what this all means for future cases.

Prenup not Enforced by Out-of-Touch Family Law Judges
Family law judges recently reached a decision that flies in the face of common sense. A marrying couple signed a pre-nuptial agreement, knowing enough to understand it’s implications. And yet, the court shot it down. Let me explain why, and why the judges were wrong.

POLYAMOROUS ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENTS
What is a Polyamorous Arrangement Agreement, and why should polyamorous persons consider entering one?
