Divorce and Divorce Settlement Agreements

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

Many legal regulations that applied previously no longer apply after a divorce. While marital solidarity generally ceases, certain subsequent obligations, such as those concerning maintenance payments or the continued parental custody, may still exist.

If all arrangements regarding custody, household property, assets, and maintenance have already been defined by you, an amicable divorce is also possible. This offers the advantage that only one family law attorney needs to be engaged, which can save costs. If there are matters that need clarification, it is advisable to address them immediately as part of the divorce proceedings, as this will be more cost-effective than resolving them 'gradually.' Legal guidance is essential for such significant decisions.

Through comprehensive support from the separation, during the arrangements to be made throughout the separation year, up to the divorce hearing, our experienced divorce attorneys will assist you and outline practical solutions.
