Family Law

Adoption

Are you experiencing problems with an adoption, whether domestic or international, simple or full adoption? An attorney can assist you with drafting the adoption request, analyzing a denial of adoption, and obtaining the necessary permissions.

Affiliation

Whether it's for recognizing or disputing paternity, ordering a judicial investigation, DNA testing, assigning or changing a family name, or adjusting the birth certificate, we offer assistance to fathers, mothers, co-mothers, and co-fathers facing such issues.

Divorce

If the relationship within a marriage is seriously disturbed and you see no future in your marriage, you can decide to divorce alone or in consultation with your partner. Spouses can divorce by mutual consent or on the grounds of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.

Of course, it never stops at the divorce itself. There are often joint assets that need to be divided, or the spouses may own a business together. If the spouses also have children together, a fair and balanced arrangement must be made, taking into account everyone's wishes.

If you prefer to resolve the above issues outside of court, we refer you to our mediation page.

De Facto or Legal Cohabitation

If you are living together with your partner, either de facto or legally, and the relationship becomes seriously strained to the point that you decide to end the cohabitation, this may be less cumbersome than a divorce, but often a fair and balanced arrangement must still be made.

Forced Admission

Forced admission is intended as a protective measure. Those who pose a danger to themselves or others can be forcibly admitted to a psychiatric ward. We are happy to assist you in the procedures surrounding such forced admissions.

Provisional Administration

There comes a time when you or your loved ones are no longer able to manage your finances and assets. Persons in such situations can be placed under provisional administration. The initiative for this can come from the person to be protected themselves, family members, or acquaintances. The magistrate of the person's place of residence is competent and appoints an administrator. We understand that certain decisions in such situations can be difficult to make, and we are here to provide advice and support.
