Separation and divorce is a traumatic time in one’s life and going through a litigious court process only adds to both parties’ stress, anxiety and financial strain.
MBI, although a women driven firm, represents either side of the gender coin in the divorce stakes with both parties trying to protect the children caught in the middle and yet help the parties off the battlefield with as few wounds as possible.
Our clients often come to us not yet having finalised the decision to get divorced and desperately seek insight into the impact it would have on their family, their lives and their financial future.
Whilst one often goes to a lawyer for a legal solution, MBI is aware that a “typical textbook legal solution” may not be a practical solution for your family. Our team mantra is “know your client, know your client, know your client”. This helps us truly understand our clients’ circumstances and together with them find a legal solution in respect of the financial aspects of a divorce, the parental rights and responsibilities, maintenance and child support that best serves their family and puts them back in control of their lives.
MBI provides expert advise on issues such as:
- Mediation
- Opposed/Unopposed Divorce
- International Divorces
- Monetary aspects relating to divorce (including the consequences relating to assets and the divisions thereof)
- Maintenance issues (Interim measures – Rule 43 and spousal)
- All factors regarding the children, including how to implement a parenting plan, how much child maintenance will likely be required, and how to file for maintenance and child maintenance/support; the procedures to obtain a protection order when there is domestic violence or abuse; an unmarried father’s rights and how to acquire parental rights
