In these difficult times, there are necessary changes to be made to legal services, including the operation of the Court. Please be assured that Robinson + McGuinness continues to remain open for business, but we are operating in a different way.

Your ex-partner has threatened to take you to Court and tells you that if they do, you will have to pay their legal costs. Is this true? This tends to be a common ‘threat’ made by people following a relationship breakdown. The likelihood of this happening, however, may not be as realistic as your former partner would like you to believe.

If you or your former partner have a grant of Legal Aid, or there is an Independent Children’s Lawyer involved in your matter, you may be eligible to participate in a mediation funded by Legal Aid.

Family Dispute Resolution is often an efficient and productive way to reach an outcome in your matter without the stress and expense of going to Court.
