How we can help.
At Lamothe Law, we prioritize clear communication and transparency at every stage of your legal journey. We want you to feel confident in your decisions by understanding each step of the process. From start to finish, we’re here to provide guidance, answer your questions, and ensure you have the clarity you need. Our commitment is to act in your best interests—helping you move forward with confidence, care, and peace of mind.
FAMILY LAW
Not all family disputes have to go to court.
We are here to help you with the hard decisions regarding your children and their best interests. Depending on the circumstances, your desired outcomes can be achieved by entering a legally binding agreement stipulating matters from parenting time to the division of the matrimonial home, and everything in between.
PARENTING AGREEMENTS
Parenting agreements help both parents feel secure and confident after the breakdown of a relationship. We can set up a parenting schedule that allows you maximum time with your children.
CHILD PROTECTION
Everyone has a different walk of life. We are here to help without judgement. We apply a child focus mindset to all matters, and work towards mitigating the concerns a child protection agency may possess.
PRE-MARRIAGE AGREEMENTS
It is essential to know and understand your rights and interests as an individual and while in a relationship. Marriage is more than a contract of love: it is important to know how marriage impacts your new life.
SEPARATION AGREEMENTS
Separation agreements are legally binding agreements that allow you and your former partner to resolve the issues in your dissolved relationship without involving the courts.
DIVORCE
After you and your former spouse have been separated for a year, you are entitled to apply to the courts for a Divorce. For some this process is dreadful and for others it is liberating. However, it should not add to your every day stress. Let us help.
