Family law
The law firm has many years of experience in conducting cases in the broad field of family law. For years we have been representing our clients in divorce cases, assisting in disputes over alimony, regulating contact with children or parental authority. An important part of our services is legal assistance in cases concerning the division of joint property of former spouses. The mutually complementary knowledge and experience of the attorneys assembled in the firm provides professional assistance also in complicated cases of division of property, when it includes real estate, companies or enterprises.
The scope of the Firm's family law services includes, in particular:
DIVORCE CASES
In the course of such proceedings, the Regional Court (as the Court of First Instance) decides not only on the dissolution of marriage by divorce, but also on the fault in the dissolution of marriage (unless both parties do not demand it), parental authority, alimony (both for children and spouse), contact with children, or joint accommodation. The law firm represents clients at the pre-court stage, helping to work out a satisfactory agreement (including a parenting plan), as well as during court proceedings, striving to obtain the most favourable settlement possible.
ALIMONY CASES
We represent in cases for the increase, for the reduction of alimony, as well as for the annulment of the alimony obligation. We assist in gathering relevant documentation and presenting appropriate arguments. We initiate protective proceedings in which we apply for the granting of security for our client's claims for the duration of the proceedings (in particular, by obliging the client to pay alimony for the duration of the proceedings), which allows us to obtain quicker and real legal protection.
CONTACT CASES
We assist in contact regulation cases, representing both parents and grandparents. The proper regulation of contact, in the event of disputes in this area, is of vital importance for the minor.
CASES OF SEPARATION OF PROPERTY
The establishment of the property separation by the Court makes it possible to safeguard the property interests of the spouse, especially in a situation where the spouses no longer run the household together and have no influence on (and sometimes even knowledge of) the property decisions made by the other spouse. In the case of court proceedings, it is possible to establish a property separation retrospectively, i.e. before the date of the lawsuit for the establishment of the separation, which often makes it possible to obtain more favourable settlements in the case for the division of joint property.
PROPERTY DIVISION CASES
The firm's extensive experience allows us to successfully represent clients in complex cases involving the division of joint assets, which include real estate, companies, businesses or farms located throughout the country. In the course of property division cases, we analyse all elements relevant to the resolution, from the issue of unequal shares, outlays (both from joint property to personal property and from personal property to joint property), benefits (including benefits from personal property which are part of personal property), settlements related to joint property unlawfully disposed of by one spouse to issues related to the manner of division, repayments, additional payments or spreading the additional payments or repayments in instalments.
