Family Law
Legal support in divorce proceedings, parental rights, maintenance, and the regulation of family property relations.
Family matters require a careful, discreet, and individual legal approach. Our team supports clients in proceedings concerning marriage, parental rights, maintenance, and family property.
We handle every case with a thorough understanding of its circumstances and a clear focus on protecting the client’s interests, particularly the best interests of the child when a child is involved in the proceedings.
We hold every conversation calmly and without haste. From the outset, clients know what to expect, which decisions lie ahead and how each step affects the children and the relationships that will continue after the proceedings.
Areas of Practice
- Divorce and annulment
- Exercise and allocation of parental rights
- Establishment and contesting of paternity and maternity
- Child and spousal maintenance
- Regulation of parent-child contact
- Division of marital property
- Protection measures against domestic violence
How we approach your matter
We first examine whether an agreement is possible. An agreed divorce, parenting arrangement or division of property usually saves time and costs, and causes children far less stress than a long court dispute.
Where agreement is not possible, we prepare contentious proceedings: we gather evidence of income, the child's needs and property acquired during the marriage, work with the social welfare centre and, where needed, propose interim measures until the case is decided.
How we work together
- Conversation: we listen to your situation and what matters most to you right now.
- Assessment: we explain your options, the risks and what you can realistically expect.
- Agreement or court: we negotiate on your behalf and, where necessary, represent you in court.
- After the decision: we follow enforcement and help when circumstances change later.
Worth knowing
In every matter concerning children, the court is guided by the best interests of the child. Decisions on maintenance and contact can be changed later if circumstances change significantly, so it helps to keep records of expenses and income.
A good outcome in a family matter is one the family can live with long after the courtroom doors close.
