Family and Divorce Law
Advice and representation in uncontested and contested divorce, custody, alimony and matrimonial property matters.
Family law disputes directly affect a person's private life and often the future of their children. In this area, advice and representation are provided on divorce proceedings, custody and contact arrangements, alimony claims and the division of property acquired during the marriage. In every case, the priority is to understand the client's situation correctly and to keep them clearly informed at each stage.
Uncontested and contested divorce
Where both parties agree on the divorce and its consequences, an uncontested divorce may be possible; otherwise the matter proceeds as a contested case. The appropriate route is decided by reviewing the parties' requests and the documents together.
Custody, alimony and contact
Custody of children and contact with the other parent are assessed in light of the child's best interests. Alimony claims and objections to such claims are handled within the same process.
Matrimonial property
The division of property acquired during the marriage requires a separate review. Gathering land registry, bank and other records in an orderly way is important for building the claim correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are needed for an uncontested divorce?
The key document is a protocol showing that both parties agree on the consequences of the divorce. Other documents depend on the case; a list tailored to your situation is prepared at the first meeting.
Can a custody decision be changed later?
If circumstances change, a reassessment of the custody arrangement may be requested. Whether this is possible depends on the specific facts.
Can a divorce consultation be held online?
Yes. The first meeting can take place in person at the office, by phone or by video call.
