Division of Marital Property
The division of marital property follows the divorce and the court judgment or agreement on ancillary issues.
The division of marital property can generally occur in two ways. The first is when the former spouses enter into a marital agreement on how they will distribute the marital property acquired during the marriage. If the parties choose this solution, they save significant time, energy, and costs, as a seemingly complex situation can be resolved quickly and peacefully with a single document.
If the parties’ visions do not align, one of the former spouses can seek the division of marital property through a court proceeding.
Our law firm has a high level of expertise and several years of experience in the division of marital property. Whether it’s an amicable, out-of-court settlement or a lengthy process, we are at your disposal.
Parental Rights, Child Custody
The question of custody arises when parents, who have lived together as spouses or partners separate. In the case of a divorce or legal separation, there are three issues that must be settled concerning the child:
- Which parent will the child live with?
- What is the amount of child support to be paid by the non-custodial parent?
- What visitation rights will the non-custodial parent have?
Primarily, the parents decide on custody. Their decision must serve the best interests of the child. If they cannot come to an agreement, the court shall award custody.
If parents cannot come to an agreement, the court will award custody. The court evaluates how the child’s physical, intellectual, and moral development can be ensured the most.
A proceeding for a change of custody, may be initiated by the non-custodial parent, the guardianship of child authority, and the prosecutor on the case.
A modification of custody can be requested if the circumstances on which the court based its decision have significantly changed since the decision was made and modifying the decision is in the child’s best interest.
Child and relative support
Child or relative support is due to the custodial parent following the divorce or legal separation. However, in practice, this often raises a lot of questions, and due to the conflicts caused by divorce or legal separations, it often ends in legal disputes. Our law firm represents your interests at a high level in such a situation, aiming to achieve the best outcome based on the given circumstances.
