Frequently asked questions

Can a family matter be resolved without court proceedings

Many matters can be resolved through negotiation, mediation or a notarial procedure. Court proceedings may still be necessary where there is no agreement, urgent protection is required or a decision must be enforced.

What information is needed for an initial family law assessment

The relevant marriage or civil-partnership documents, existing agreements or court decisions, information about children and income, and a short chronology usually allow the first assessment to focus on the available options.

How are international family matters assessed

The first step is to identify the countries involved, the habitual residence of family members and any existing proceedings. These facts may determine jurisdiction and the law that applies.
