Superintendents Legal Expertise

Superintendent Family Law Services

Over the years, the team at McAlister Family Law has represented some of the country’s leading superintendents who have faced divorce, family, and child disputes.

Superintendent Divorce

Whether you are an acting superintendent or are a chief superintendent, our team of specialist family lawyers has the knowledge and expertise to guide you through.

For superintendents facing divorce, it is paramount that early legal advice is sought as the law surrounding the police pension scheme is relatively complex.

It is likely that your pension assets are the most valuable assets of the marriage, so it’s important that you understand the options available to you. This way, you can make a decision that works for you.

In addition to our general services, our team has the following expertise which is specific to police cases:

Advice in relation to pensions and divorce and the best option for your case
Advising the right valuation to be used for your pension and challenging arguments when valuation assumptions are not agreed
Advising pre and post-marital contributions and whether they can be excluded from the final settlement
Advising whether a clean break settlement can be achieved so that you can move on without any further financial claims
Drafting pre and post-nuptial agreements and advising as to the enforceability of child contact arrangements

How Our Expert Team Can Help You

We understand just how difficult divorce can be – especially with children involved. That’s why we offer our clients a range of benefits.
