Family Law
Family law cases often involve deeply personal and sensitive private matters that require a lawyer’s special and individual approach. Our professional knowledge allows us to provide comprehensive explanations and answers to your questions while helping you find the best possible solution. With our expertise and experience, we offer full legal support throughout the entire course of a family law case—divorce, separation, division of assets, or child custody. We support clients from the very beginning, starting with attempts at mediation and settlement to avoid lengthy trials, up to the completion of court proceedings where a unified position supported by evidence must be presented.
Within family law, we provide, among others, the following services:
- Legal advice and consultations at every stage of the proceedings.
- Participation in negotiations and mediations between parties, including preparation and legal assistance.
- Preparation of parental agreements regarding parental authority, visitation rights, and child support obligations.
- Preparation of divorce or separation petitions, motions initiating family law proceedings, and motions for division of joint marital property.
- Conducting proceedings for divorce, separation, alimony, division of property, parental authority, child contact, and paternity determination.
- Handling divorce cases — with or without attribution of fault. In a divorce judgment, the court always rules on fault (unless both parties agree to proceed without determining fault). Depending on the circumstances, this decision may affect the other party’s right to claim alimony.
- Parental authority over minor children, including determining their place of residence. This issue is crucial not only for the exercise of parental authority but also for determining future child support obligations.
- Arrangements for contact with minor children — this not only concerns the rules and schedule of contact but also significantly influences the amount of alimony.
- Shared custody and parental participation in childcare, which directly affects child support obligations.
- Alimony for minor children — this is a crucial element of divorce proceedings aimed at ensuring proper living conditions for children, depending on their justified needs and the earning capacity of the obligated parent.
- Determining the use of jointly occupied housing — when the parties intend to live together after divorce, it may be necessary to establish rules for using individual rooms or spaces within the home.
- Division of property — upon dissolution of marriage, it becomes necessary to divide the spouses’ joint assets. This may be addressed within the divorce case if both parties reach agreement; otherwise, a separate case before the district court will be required.
- Preparation of appeals and other remedies — including appeals, complaints, cassation complaints, and motions to reopen family law proceedings.
- Preparation of motions for interim relief — including temporary alimony, contact arrangements, or determination of a child’s residence pending final judgment.
- Preparation of motions to initiate enforcement proceedings, complaints about bailiff inaction, or motions to deprive an enforcement title of enforceability.
- Preparation of notices of suspected crime for failure to pay alimony.
Every case is handled individually, providing support at every stage of the process. It is worth seeking professional legal assistance from the very beginning.
