Family & Relationship

Family and relationship law is often misunderstood and ignored. When issues arise they often hit home at a sensitive and emotional time, and the people involved are frequently ill-prepared and in desperate need of legal advice and careful planning.

Pier Law's team specialise in all areas of the law relating to separation, children, relationship, property, child and spousal maintenance and claims against estates. Our team provides you with a confidential, secure, and professional approach during what is often a very emotional time for all involved. We cal also arrange referrals to other professionals where the matter is beyond our level of expertise.

Some of the services we provide within family and relationship law include:

• Adoption
• Relationship property agreements (contracting out agreements)
• Pre-marital (or pre-nuptual) agreements
• Co-habitation contracts
• Family trusts
• Arranging independent advice
