A marriage breakdown is an emotionally difficult time in your life, but do not stress, we’re here to help! Our legal team can assist you in preparing or responding to Divorce proceedings.
Divorce applications do not finalise any arrangements relating to children, property, or finance, rather it is the legal evidence to show that two people are no longer married.
Hunter Legal provides a personalised and tailored service to support your individual needs and circumstances in the event of a relationship breakdown.
Our legal team prides itself on guiding clients in this challenging time through active listening and clear communication to deliver practical, timely advice and just outcomes.
