Family Law

Most people never imagine that they will need the services of a family lawyer. Separation, divorce, property division and child custody battles are not things that anyone plans for. But when they happen, they need to be dealt with as calmly and as objectively as possible. The advice and support of an experienced lawyer can make the difference between a workable long-term solution and an acrimonious breakdown in communications.

At this difficult time in your life, you need a lawyer who will see you not simply as another case but as a human being, dealing with one of the most traumatic events that you have ever had to face. Paul J. Daffern will offer practical advice and assistance, guide you through mediation and aim to get the best possible result from amicable negotiation but, if a solution cannot be negotiated, he will argue your case in court to ensure that you get the resolution that you deserve.

Of course, not all family law relates to such distressing events as divorce and separation. Paul J. Daffern can also help you draw up a marriage contract or pre-nuptial agreement and can offer advice and support if you are considering adopting a child.
