Family & Matrimonial

With an experience spanning 30 over years, we have a department dedicated to the areas of family and matrimonial laws. By way of collateral support, we have built the competitiveness of this department with expertise for tracing, assessing the pool and valuation of matrimonial assets, no matter how vast or how complex. In particular, we are able to assess the likelihood of outcome for clients in respect of their share in the matrimonial assets and other financial issues. We bring these strengths whether it be the negotiating table, a mediation session or the hearing before a judge.

Similarly on issues relating to children, our lawyers are also parenting coordinators, skilled mediators trained in the voice of a child and experienced mediation advocates for a parent in a Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction proceedings. We are collaborative family practice lawyers and strong believers of Therapeutic Justice.

We have represented fathers in custody cases where the fathers were given not only custody but care and control of their children. We have acted for parents denied access to their children but now see them regularly. We have represented spouses where we have negotiated million dollar settlement without resorting to litigation. Where we were not able to achieve resolution peaceably, we have fought for clients compelled to take their child away from the other abusive parents or to trace assets dissipated or hidden or squandered or spent without consent.

Calling on the amalgamation of our experiences in both family and property law, we have also served clients in complex work in the area of trust law. We collaborate with other professional affiliates in the PracticeForte Advisory to provide counsel in the formation of family trusts. We have also assisted and led contentious litigation matters in the disentangling of family feuds for trust properties.

Our Family & Matrimonial Law Department is headed by Ms Susan Tay.
