Here are some top tips provided by experienced family lawyers at Maxwell Hodge:-
- Please always be prepared to talk and discuss. Using lawyers to thrash out your hurt feelings is an expensive process.

- Under no circumstances tolerate abuse or threats of violence.

- Emotions can run high, but please do not sign anything without getting legal advice first.
If you follow these tips you will save time, money and heartache. Legal advice from experienced family lawyers will assist you further through the process.
