Disagreements with a partner or other family members about money, parenting, children and property are common, even if the relationship is not coming to an end. Family law disputes can often time be resolved through Mediation instead of litigation, in balancing the benefits of any course of action that disputants may wish to take against the likely financial and emotional costs.
Thomas Philip takes the approach that is necessarily sensitive, constructive and interest-based in managing family law disputes. We believe that the structuring and termination of personal relationships should really be a matter of private decision, with certain exceptions.
Our services includes:
Divorce and Custody Mediation (more info)
Joint petitions for divorce
Adoption
Land disputes make up a large number of the existing cases in our Courts. Lands are premium assets and some are invaluable due to the sentimental value attached to the lands. As such, cases of trespass, fraud and forgery involving lands are regrettably a common occurrence.
Thomas Philip aims to help clients navigate the provisions of the National Land Code 1965 and our fundamental system of land registration known as the Torrens System, and in doing so, become fully aware of their land rights and interests.
We have acted for a wide range client in enforcing and/or securing their rights and interests in a land dispute. These include bringing an action to recover ownership and possession of lands and also defending the title of a 3rd party bona fide subsequent purchaser of lands.
