Tell us what has occurred

A confidential first consultation, without obligation. We will establish which Act applies, assess the strength of your position, and advise on the appropriate next step, whether you are applying for an order or defending one.

For applicants

Not sure where to start?

There is no cost to apply to court, and you may represent yourself. Read why professional representation still helps.

For respondents

Been served with an order?

What to do immediately, and why a proper defence matters, before your return date.

Tell us briefly what has happened

When and how is it safe to contact you?

We will contact you only by the means you specify here. If it is not safe for us to identify ourselves when doing so, please say so and we will not.

I understand that sending this enquiry does not create an attorney–client relationship, and I consent to my information being processed as described in the Privacy Policy.

Confidential and without obligation.

After you get in touch

What happens next

No uncertainty, and no sales process. This is precisely how a matter proceeds.

1
We come back to you
The same day in urgent matters, and within one working day otherwise, by the means you have told us is safe.
2
A first consultation
By telephone, on WhatsApp, at our offices, or at court. We establish what occurred, when, and what concerns you most.
3
A straight assessment
Which Act applies, whether the available evidence supports an application, how urgent the matter is, and what outcome is realistically achievable, including where the answer is that you do not have a case.
4
We start
Preparation, evidence, filing and court. The same attorney remains on your matter throughout.

Your safety online

Browsing this site safely

Where the person you are concerned about has access to your telephone or computer, the following is worth knowing.

Clear your browsing history in your browser settings after visiting this site, or use private or incognito browsing from the start.
Consider using a telephone or computer the other person cannot access: that of a friend or family member, or one at a library or community centre.
Check what is installed on your telephone: shared location, family tracking applications, shared cloud accounts, and whether messages are mirrored to another device.
Tell us how it is safe to contact you and we will follow it precisely, including not identifying ourselves where that is what you require.

A note on what this form is not

Sending an enquiry does not create an attorney–client relationship, and this form is not monitored around the clock. If your matter cannot wait, call the after-hours number on 083 455 8039.
