One of the ‘most asked’ Anonymous questions in the North Shore Mums Facebook group are around relationship and marriage issues. These can vary from women who want to leave a loveless marriage, right through to women who feel trapped in a marriage that they feel they cannot escape.
To help our members get the correct advice they need in the early stages, Rachel and Sarah spoke to Family Lawyer Anna Roberts, from Delaney Roberts Family Lawyers, to ask all those common questions. After years of working with people experiencing separation, Anna knows how important it is to start the separation process in a strong, informed and clear-minded place.
In this interview, you’ll learn:
- Should you always appoint a family lawyer?
- Do all cases need to go to court, or are they resolved beforehand?
- How much would you expect to pay to see a family lawyer?
