From urgent intervention orders and court hearings, to long term child custody and financial agreements, parents and carers come to Antunes Lawyers for expertise and true care.
Whatever’s going on in your personal life, the best thing you can do for your children is engage help from specialist legal professionals who understand and plan to protect their emotions.
Disputes involving children are often highly charged and always deeply upsetting, and the huge negative impacts of separation and divorce on the little ones are very well documented. So it’s important that your legal help understands how to keep those effects to the bare minimum.
Who your child lives with, and where? Who your child spends time with, for how long and in what circumstance? Who has ultimate responsibility for your child’s welfare, and where do they go to school? How does school holiday and overseas travel work? This all needs working out, ASAP.
The level of understanding, dedication and professionalism in ensuring the best possible outcome, were second to none. I was really impressed with their communication skills, Victoria explained everything very clearly , kept me updated and answered all my questions. She has been a constant support throughout the whole process, I have confidence in her ability to get the job done whilst having my best interest at heart.
