Family Law

Seeking advice in relation to family law issues is usually accompanied by a reasonable level of stress and uncertainty. Merthyr Law work to educate clients about the legal system as it applies to family law issues, informing them of their obligations and helping them to understand the options, processes and the difficulties, in a caring and practical manner.

Merthyr Law believe that being proactive in dealing with current or future family law issues results in far better outcomes than being reactive. The value of having agreements in place, especially financial agreements, should never be underestimated. They are good insurance against future costs, litigation and uncertainty. As with estate planning, having documented agreements and structures in place to deal with family law issues if they arise, means they can be dealt with effectively and efficiently.

When relationship breakdown does occur, negotiation, mediation and dispute resolution mechanisms can assist parties to reach agreements regarding care of children and division of property, money and belongings. This is where Merthyr Law can assist. It is our aim that agreements be reached without the intervention of a court. Merthyr Law can assist clients with the following Family Law issues:
