The breakdown of a relationship is a difficult time.  It is a time when the provision of expert legal advice and understanding can help you to move on with your life.  



Our point of difference is partnering with you to solve legal problems in your personal affairs.  You receive practical strategic advice, in a safe environment.

Our Family law solutions help you sort out: where children live and who has contact with them, your rights in and to real estate, maintenance, superannuation and all other matrimonial assets, including businesses, inheritances, shares etc.  

Kate has particular experience in same sex relationships, including arrangements for children and the distribution of property. 





A sensible first step in resolving a relationship problem is to obtain confidential legal advice and then to consider your options.  These options may include counselling, mediation, negotiation or an application to court.  Our experience is that obtaining advice, however painful that appears to be, will alleviate some of the stress that a breakdown in a relationship causes.

All initial calls and drop-ins to Clayhills are greeted with understanding and prompt, confidential attention.  After an initial consultation, Kate will be able to provide you with a guide as to how your matter should be best dealt with and a range of costs.
