We believe that from unhealthy marriages new relationships based on mutual respect, cooperation and dignity can be established. Our name encompasses this philosophy, our logo is inspired by the koro an ancient Maori symbol of renewal, new beginnings.
Maintaining their self-respect and dignity
People do not always choose to separate or divorce. Sometimes it happens for reasons totally out of our control. However it occurs, and as traumatic as separation and divorce is, you always have the power to decide how you and your family will move through the process.
Focusing on the future and achieving what is most important to them and their families
Most people want to do what’s in the best interests of their children, achieve a fair property settlement, maintain financial security, build amicable relations with their former spouses and move on with their lives. We can help you focus on and plan for the future.
Taking a holistic approach to separation and divorce by working through the legal, emotional and financial issues
Separation and divorce isn’t just about dividing up assets. It involves restructuring the family into two separate households. It’s about new beginnings and moving forward. For that to happen, the emotional, financial and legal issues need to be resolved.
By not just providing legal advice but by taking a holistic approach to separation and divorce, (where necessary for instance, bringing in experts such as financial advisers and children’s experts to give expert advice) we can assist you to address all of the issues necessary for you and your family to heal and move through the process, creating positive new beginnings.
Making informed decisions
By explaining the benefits of and processes involved in dispute resolution practices like Collaborative Law and Mediation which focus on interest-based discussions, we can help you find creative “win-win” solutions as opposed to Family Court proceedings which focus on positions and rights leading to “win-lose” results.
