Q. I have left home and wish to commence divorce proceedings. Can you help?

A. Yes. Divorce can be a tricky matter at the best of times. Most people think the obtaining of a divorce fixes all issues between the parties. It does not and involves proceeding to divorce, effecting a property settlement, dealing with questions e.g. child custody (contact, residence etc.), child support and spousal maintenance.
