Yes. You can discuss your circumstances and priorities before deciding how to proceed. Tell us if there are any immediate safety concerns or upcoming court dates.
Do all family matters require court proceedings?
Not necessarily. We can discuss negotiation and other available approaches, and explain when court proceedings may need to be considered in your circumstances.
