Family Matters (Divorce & Children)

Family law matters often involve deeply personal issues that require not only legal expertise, but also discretion, sensitivity, and clarity. Whether you are navigating the end of a marriage, working out custody arrangements, or seeking financial support, we are here to guide you through the legal process with care and professionalism.

In Trinidad and Tobago, divorce proceedings and matters involving children are handled in the Family Court and Children Court, depending on the circumstances. These matters often include applications for custody, access, maintenance (child support), spousal support (alimony), and property settlement.
