Legal assistance & defence after a toxic divorce

Are you a victim of a toxic divorce?

A toxic divorce is a a divorce that is characterised by high conflict, manipulation, and emotional distress. It often involves negative behaviours and communication patterns that create a harmful environment for both parties, as well as any children involved. A toxic divorce can cause pain, emotional and legal distress. Some common features of a toxic divorce include:

Constant Conflict: The individuals involved cannot agree on anything, leading to ongoing disputes about issues like child custody, property division, and alimony.

Manipulation and Control: One or both spouses may use manipulation, deceit, or threats to control the other, which is emotionally draining.

Hostility and Anger: Continuous displays of anger, hostility, or resentment, often involving verbal abuse or bitter arguments.

Parental Alienation: One parent may try to turn the children against the other parent, intentionally creating distance or negative feelings, which can harm the children emotionally.

Lack of Cooperation: In a toxic divorce, spouses are often unwilling to cooperate or compromise, which leads to legal consequences and unnecessary stress.
