Chappell Partners LLP

Family

The Family group recognizes the exceptional sensitivity of family disputes and the importance of planning.

Seasoned and empathetic, we advise on a full range of matters that impact families, from marriage/co-habitation to separation, child protection, as well as estate planning and administration.

We have extensive experience in all aspects of marriage and separation. We look at your needs carefully and plan, with you, how to best resolve your issues expeditiously — including what forum is best for you, whether that be negotiation, mediation, arbitration or court — all with a view to achieving the most favourable outcome.

  • Marriage/Co-habitation Agreements
  • Separation + Divorce
  • Child Protection
  • Child Abduction (Hague Convention)

Resolution of family law issues without court is the essence of Collaborative Law. Favourable outcomes are achieved by discussion, negotiation and collaboration between clients and professionals.
