About The Family Lawyer

The Family Lawyer is Selina Trigg, principal of one of New Zealand's largest specialist family law practices.

A self-confessed family law geek, I have been practicing exclusively in family law for over 12 years. I am lucky enough to still be able to say I never have a boring day in the office. Working with clients to resolve their family law issues and seeing the vibrant tapestry of human behaviour that I encounter each day never fails to fascinate me. I get to work alongside Family Law Result's great team of enthusiastic lawyers and support staff and I spend a reasonable part of each day sharing ideas with them about the  progression of our clients' matters. 

I work from my office based in South Auckland but my clients are from throughout New Zealand and, thanks to technology,  elsewhere in the world. Being based in South Auckland, with its three busy Family Courts, gives me the opportunity to be involved in a wide array of family law issues. I undertake work for clients in all areas of family law including adoptions, parenting arrangements, family violence and family property issues.

Any time I have away from work is spent with my other great loves: my partner, my infant son and my two teenage stepchildren. Outside of work, one of my key strategies for winning friends and influencing people is to keep their stomaches happy with the results of my avid interest in cooking. If I am not in the kitchen or playing with my son, I am generally writing, watching movies, trying to move some home projects from "inspired idea" to completion or reading (usually cook books!).

This blog gives me the opportunity to combine my enjoyment of family law with my enjoyment of writing. I hope it will inform you, entertain you and give you an insight into why family law fascinates me so darn much,

Selina.
