Divorce
Specific areas we can help with include:
- Divorce (Acrimonious Divorce & Asset Tracing) where sensitive handling of contested divorce proceedings make for good outcomes with the least pain and trauma.
- Custody and Child Support. One of the most disputed issues in divorce, we ensure that the child’s interests are always the top priority and then assist the Client to obtain the outcome that is sought.
- Personal Protection Orders (PPO), along with Expedited Order (EO) and Domestic Exclusion Order (DEO) are Court Orders available to protect the applicant and or the children of the marriage from all forms of abuse, including verbal, emotional, psychological abuse and sexual harassment. Legal representation is not required when applying for or even defending against a PPO, but it will be beneficial if you have legal advice or representation especially if a court hearing is imminent.
- Maintenance Orders & Financial Settlement. Both the husband and wife can each be ordered to provide financial support for their spouse and dependent children while still being married and during the divorce or annulment proceedings, AND after it has been finalized. Factors that may affect the terms of the maintenance order include the financial needs of the spouse or the child, both spouses’ individual incomes, and the duration of the marriage.

I submitted a request form via Peggy’s firm at 10pm and received a call directly from Peggy early next morning. She eased my anxiety and empathized with my situation. She is professional, and she is the go to person if you need any legal advice.
Throughout the whole legal process Miss Yee and her team at PY Legal, including Miss Audrey Liaw, were very professional and yet compassionate, guiding me at every stage. To a layperson like me, the whole process is very daunting. I cannot thank Miss Yee and PY Legal enough to help me through.
You are allowed to be emotional, express your feelings and just be yourself. My job is to listen to you, be a voice of support while keeping cool and focused on standing by your side through these trying times” –> these were the words of support and encouragement which Peggy greeted me with. It was exactly what I was looking for.
Throughout my case, Peggy stood unwaveringly by my side, offering great advice and encouragement while giving me the space to recoup when needed. Her professional advice offered in calm, but encouraging, tone often brought stability throughout the tribulations of the legal case.
Her extensive professional expertise and ability to find solution to any issue were very much welcome as to keep me focused on getting through. Peggy helped me to feel useful as she put me hard at work to help myself and in way she made be become a part of her team. That gave me the chance to contribute towards the successful outcome of the case. I am very much satisfied with the case outcome.
And yet, her work didn’t stop there. After the court ruling Peggy and her staff worked tirelessly to get all paperwork and associated tasks processed, filed and done in time.
I will highly recommend her to anyone as it is rare to find someone to stand by your corner, be your friend and supporter in trying times.
Peggy, you did a great job!
The staff are professional and meticulous. I’m a long-time client and would always turn to them for any legal issues.
