Matrimonial litigation
As its name suggests, this includes divorce, as well as the financial and child related issues which typically go with it. It also includes such matters as bringing Court proceedings to obtain maintenance for children, adoption and “care” proceedings.
A matrimonial litigation Advocate will be able to assist with any of these matters. In some cases, someone involved in this type of proceedings may be entitled to free legal representation, or representation at a reduced cost, under the Guernsey Legal Aid Scheme.
