Family Law – Fair Solutions in Difficult Times

Compassionate advice on divorce, maintenance and custody. We guide you through this difficult time and find the best solution for your family together.

Your Family Law Attorney

Family law matters are often emotionally challenging and require an attorney who is not only legally proficient but also acts with empathy and understanding. As an experienced attorney, I stand by your side in all life situations – from amicable divorce to contentious proceedings.

Divorce and Separation Consequences

A divorce means not only the end of a marriage but also brings numerous legal questions. I guide you through the entire divorce process and ensure that your interests are protected. Whenever possible, I strive for amicable solutions that provide the best foundation for all involved – especially for shared children.

Enforcing Alimony Claims

Calculating and enforcing alimony claims is among the most complex areas of family law. Whether separation maintenance, post-marital support, or child support – I carefully review your claims and pursue them consistently. I consider current alimony tables and the jurisprudence of family courts.

Custody and Child Welfare as Priority

In all decisions regarding custody and visitation rights, the child’s welfare is paramount. I support you in finding sustainable solutions that both protect your parental rights and serve the child’s best interests. This includes determining residency, healthcare decisions, and important matters affecting your child.
