Family Law & Divorces

The key to a speedy and cost-effective divorce is understanding the process. At Hahn & Hahn our experienced attorneys will guide you through the divorce process in order to ensure the most favourable outcome for our clients.

Divorce litigation is either uncontested or contested. Uncontested divorces are quicker and cheaper while contested divorces are more expensive and litigation may be dragged out for a long period of time unless the parties agree to settle. In the case of contested divorces, the Court will be asked to make a decision.

Issues generally dealt with in divorce proceedings relate to the division of assets and liabilities, maintenance for the parties as well as parents' rights and responsibilities.

The below list details some of the ways in which we at Hahn & Hahn assist our clients:

• Assessment of their situation and advising them with respect to the way forward
