At Rachael Dewar Law, we offer genuine understanding and clear advice when you need it most. Our team of expert family lawyers are dedicated to providing advice and representation in all areas of family law, including separation, childcare and custody, relationship property, pre-nups and contracting out agreements, as well as other family disputes such as challenges to wills, estate claims, incapacity issues, guardianship and relocation, mediation, and Court work.

Knowing your rights is crucial during the separation process, and our team can provide you with comprehensive advice on all aspects, including childcare or custody arrangements, financial support, and property division. We are also experienced in assisting clients with domestic or family violence situations, helping them obtain or respond to Protection Orders.

Our family lawyers specialize in matters related to children, including childcare arrangements, parenting agreements, custody and access, guardianship and relocation, adoption, surrogacy and IVF issues, paternity, and international child abduction. We can also provide assistance with Oranga Tamariki matters and advise you on your rights prior to Family Dispute Resolution mediation or attend mediation with you.

Dealing with relationship property can be complex, but our team can guide you through the process, advising you on your rights and helping you reach an agreement to divide your relationship property with your ex-partner. We can also assist you in creating a Contracting Out Agreement or pre-nup, giving you peace of mind if things do not go according to plan.

If you believe you have been unfairly provided for in a will, we can assess your situation and advise you on whether you have a claim against the estate. Our team can also negotiate with the will's executors on your behalf.

In cases where a family member's capacity to make decisions is in question, we can advise you on obtaining orders under the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act and assist you in making an application.

While we strive to keep our clients out of Court, we understand that sometimes it is necessary. In such cases, we provide expert advocacy to represent your interests. We also have experience in representing clients at mediation and assisting those eligible for legal aid.
