Family Law
We represent clients at every stage of a case — from consultation and analysis of the legal situation, through pre-litigation measures and participation in mediation, to representation in court and the enforcement of the judgment. We analyse each case individually, taking into account the client’s needs, the best interests of any minor children and the possibility of an amicable resolution of the dispute.
In divorce cases, we help assess the client’s situation, prepare an appropriate litigation strategy and resolve issues relating to fault, maintenance, parental responsibility, the children’s place of residence and contact arrangements. We also advise on securing claims for the duration of the proceedings.
We also support clients with the division of joint property and the establishment of separate property regimes. We analyse the composition and value of the assets, the origin of individual assets, contributions made by the spouses, and liabilities subject to settlement.
Family matters concerning children require particular care and consideration of the child’s best interests. We help to resolve issues relating to the exercise of parental responsibility, the child’s place of residence, contact with the other parent and the costs of the child’s maintenance.
We strive to develop solutions that ensure the child’s stability and security, whilst taking into account, as far as possible, the legitimate needs and circumstances of both parents.
Where appropriate, we recommend negotiations or mediation, which can lead to a quicker and less contentious resolution of family matters. We assist in drafting proposals for agreements concerning divorce, contact arrangements, maintenance, parental responsibility and the division of property.
If it is not possible to reach an agreement, we represent our clients in court, ensuring that their position is properly presented, evidence is gathered, and their rights are protected at every stage of the proceedings.
We guarantee discretion, commitment and a clear explanation of possible courses of action. We explain the legal consequences of the decisions taken, highlight potential risks and help choose the solution best suited to the client’s situation.
