Overview

Family matters

Family law decisions shape where children live, how a household's property is divided and what support is paid for years afterwards. They are made at a time when clear thinking is hardest.

Appiah Opoku Boateng starts by listening: what has happened, what matters most, and what you need to decide first. From there the options are laid out plainly, and matters are negotiated or taken to court as they require.

How it works

A steady path through a hard time

Your matter moves from a confidential meeting to a plan, negotiation or court as it requires, and a resolution.

  1. A confidential meeting

    Your situation, your questions, and your options.

  2. A plan

    Built around your goals and what needs protecting.

  3. Negotiation or court

    Each stage handled as the matter requires.

  4. Resolution

    A settlement or an order, and guidance on what follows.

Questions

Before your consultation

Is the first meeting confidential?

Yes. It is a confidential consultation to understand your situation and outline options.

Does every family matter go to court?

No. Many are negotiated; court is one route when agreement is not possible.

Is my situation connected to immigration?

If it may be, say so at the first meeting. The firm also practises immigration law.
