We see this area of practice as more encompassing than the traditional view thinks it is. Matrimonial disputes are not confined to issues of custody, financial relief, adoption and wardship.  Specialists in this area have to deal with complex jurisdictional aspects nowadays in light of the ever-growing trend of cross-border or continent marriage. The practice in this area also requires expertise, advisory or contentious, in dealing with the disposition of family properties and probate matters.  In their hours of darkness in life, your client needs a barrister in whom he or she can confide.
