Initial consultation at BFMC
WHERE DO I BEGIN? –
BOOK YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
We often see clients shortly after their relationships have ended. Most clients are confused and unsure what steps they should take to protect their interests. Most importantly, stay calm. It is important that you do not make hasty decisions. While you should obtain legal advice at an early stage it is just as important that you obtain assistance with the emotional aspects of separation.
Whether you have just separated, are thinking about separating, or finished your relationship a long time ago, we recommend an Initial Consultation with one of our solicitors as the best starting point. We can provide you with information in relation to the possible steps forward for your circumstances, our services in relation to this, and the approximate costs and timeframes for these options.
1
Prepare a short timeline of your relationship including the date that you began to live together, date of marriage (if applicable), date of separation and other important events such as children’s birth dates.
2
For property matters – create a list of the assets, liabilities and other resources that you and your partner have at this time.
3
Create a list of any pressing questions you might have so that you can refer back to this during your appointment.
If you can’t collate this material prior to your first appointment don’t worry- we will be able to assist you to gather the necessary information.
