Family Law

In the field of family law, it is particularly important to approach clients with both competence and empathy. Discretion is also our top priority. Clients often come to us in an emotional state of distress, and details of their private lives are disclosed during consultations.

Marriage Contracts

Marriage Contracts

We recommend seeking family law consultation prior to entering into marriage to determine whether establishing a marriage contract is advisable in your specific circumstances. Often, a modified community of accrued gains (Zugewinngemeinschaft) proves beneficial. Additionally, we assess existing marriage contracts for their validity and provide recommendations for amendments when necessary—such as in response to changes in case law or when the spouses’ intentions at the time of the contract differ from their current situation. Adhering to the principle "better safe than sorry," we also advise regular reviews of existing marriage contracts even during a stable marriage.

Litigation

Litigation

When an out-of-court settlement is not feasible or effective, we provide assertive representation in all family law and related proceedings. These include, in particular, divorce and associated processes such as alimony, pension adjustments, division of accrued gains, household goods, marital home, child custody, visitation rights, and parental responsibilities.

We pursue spousal and child support as well as the equitable division of property, household goods, the family home, and the adjustment of pension entitlements. We represent you in matters concerning child custody, including contentious disputes over visitation, both out of court and in court, and regarding custody rights for your marital and non-marital children.

Additionally, we prepare expert opinions on cases handled by our colleagues, share our assessments of the likelihood of success, and provide recommendations if we believe the strategy needs to be altered. We thoroughly review your case and offer a competent professional opinion to ensure your interests are effectively protected.
