Divorce and Divorce Settlement Agreements

When a serious relationship conflict arises and the continuation of the partnership is in question, it is important to remain calm and contact a divorce lawyer to avoid disadvantages.

Many legal regulations that were previously in effect no longer apply after a divorce. Marital solidarity generally ceases, but some subsequent obligations, such as maintenance payments or the continued unchanged parental responsibility, may still apply.

If all arrangements regarding custody, household effects, assets, and maintenance have already been defined by you, an amicable divorce is also possible. This has the advantage that only one family law attorney needs to be engaged, which can save costs. If there are points to be clarified, it is advisable to address them immediately with the divorce – this will be more cost-effective than a "piecemeal" solution. Legal guidance is indispensable for such significant decisions.

Through comprehensive support from separation, through arrangements to be made during a year of separation, up to the divorce hearing, our experienced female divorce lawyers will assist you and show you sensible paths forward.
