Judy's experience as a barrister at the Cape Town bar and specialist in children's matters has enabled her to conduct complicated parenting matters in both the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court without the use of counsel, thus reducing the overall costs considerably.
Our Approach to Family Law
As a mother of four children, Judy's passion is to protect the children of separating couples and to ensure that what is best for them is placed foremost, even at the expense of the parents' wishes.
