Family Law: The Most Personal Area of law

Family Law involves every matter in which the legal system intersects with family relationships. This often involves the legal aspects of separation and divorce. This includes child protection (CAS), Adoptions, paternity issues and DNA testing.

Clients dealing with family breakdown are understandably going through a difficult stage of their lives. The pain and anxiety of separation and divorce can be intense. The last thing people need is the additional stress and pressure from the legal system.

The Family Law Lawyers at Creighton Law LLP practice Family Law with compassion and empathy. We give our clients skilled legal assistance in all forums of dispute resolution including negotiation, Mediation, Arbitration and litigation.

These disputes often involve parties who must continue to deal with each other long after their dispute is resolved. We always remain aware of this fact. Legal Aid and Private Retainers are accepted.
