HOW TO RESOLVE A FAMILY LAW MATTER WELL

Whether a family law matter will be highly contested or likely to settle early in the piece, there are five steps which I like to follow with clients to aim to obtain the optimum result for them.

As the client follows these steps, he/she take control of their family law matter, this also allows the client to alleviate the sensation of vulnerability and being outside their comfort zone.

Step One – Become informed about the law.

Step Two– Become informed about the facts in your case.

Step Three – Become informed about the family law process.

Step Four – Devise a Case Plan jointly with your lawyer.

Step Five – Become somewhat “schizophrenic”- adopting an “official” stance and a “confidential” stance about the outcome of their case..
