Family Lawyers
Help for all aspects of family law
When it comes to all things family, we know families matter. Our family lawyers are here to provide compassionate legal advice and personalised assistance tailored to your unique needs, as we understand that no two families are the same. We'll help support and advise you through sensitive relationship or family legal matters in the least stressful way possible.
For calm, confidential family law legal advice and action, arrange to meet with one of our family lawyers at our Pukekohe or Waiheke Island offices.
Family law covers legal matters relating to relationships, adoption and care of children and estate matters including;
Relationship Property
Whether you’re separating, divorcing, or entering a new relationship, we can provide objective support and legal advice to help protect your interests.
Good legal advice from your Arnet Law family lawyer will help save you money and stress, and protect your interests. We prepare and advise on contracting out agreements (‘prenups”) and settlement agreements following separation.
We help settle relationship disputes - ideally, out-of-court where possible to reduce time, expense and added worry at an already challenging time. However, our family lawyers are all skilled courtroom lawyers ready to argue your case when needed.
Family Law - Family Violence
Our specialist family lawyers provide a safe space to help and advise with protection orders and property orders and all legal advice relating to family violence whether physical, psychological, financial or sexual abuse.
We understand the sensitive nature of family violence cases and our experienced lawyers can guide you through the legal process and help you obtain protection and property orders.
We are here to support you and provide professional assistance with your applications and defences.
Adoption
Adopting a child is a life-changing decision that requires careful consideration and planning.
​
Our family lawyers can provide you with legal advice and assistance on all aspects of adoption, including drafting and reviewing adoption agreements, advising on the legal implications of adoption and helping you navigate the adoption process.
​
By seeking our help, you can ensure that your adoption journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible, giving you the time and space to focus on building your new family.
PPPR (Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act)
The PPPR Act exists to protect the personal and property rights of people who are not fully capable of managing their own affairs.
If a family member becomes incapacitated without having an EPOA (Enduring Power of Attorney) in place an order under the PPPR act will be required to manage their affairs.
