Divorce and Family Law

The breakup of a family can cause both emotional and financial stress, but we can ease your burden through the legal process. We can advise you of your rights, help you understand what is expected of you, and help you understand what to expect from others (such as a judge), so that you can make the very best decisions for you and your family.

Any adultery or behaviour you want to rely on must be that of the respondent and not of the person who is starting the divorce. It also should have happened in the six months before you separated or at any time after you separated; or in the six months before the divorce application (the “petition”) is filed at court.

Cerebral Palsy Lawyer

Cerebral Palsy isn’t the same for everyone. Symptoms differ from victim to victim, and there is more than one type of Cerebral Palsy. What everyone suffering from Cerebral Palsy shares is this: they have suffered injuries to their brains which have permanently damaged their brain’s ability to control body movement and thinking. In many cases Cerebral Palsy is preventable. It often is caused as a result of oxygen deprivation which occurs while the baby is in the mother’s womb.

Often it is a result of a healthcare provider’s failure to perform a timely c-section, Many times mothers have been diagnosed with hypertension, a placental abruption, and fetal distress, and a c-section is unnecessarily delayed, causing brain damage to the baby. Many victims of Cerebral Palsy were injured during the birth process. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for Cerebral Palsy at this time.
