Marriage contracts and divorces

A marital crisis confronts a person with a multitude of problems: relational, economic, and even practical.  With decades of diverse and consolidated experience, we can integrate all the necessary aspects for an effective defense.  We especially deal with the protection of the parental sphere before the various relevant bodies (Courts, “ARP”). We also examine the parent’s rights in relation to economic matters (child maintenance) and patrimonial issues (dissolution of the matrimonial property regime and issues regarding the separation of the joint estate).

Particular attention is paid to a scrupulous reconstruction of the income and assets of the parties involved.  The familiarity of our firm with corporate and banking law issues enables us to execute this reconstruction even when dealing with particularly complicated asset situations. In a similar way, we are also inclined to explore aspects that are not related to family law, e.g. in the area of taxation, inheritance or in connection with the management of a business or undivided property.

The assistance provided by our firm can cover all relevant aspects, from matrimonial union protection, separation or divorce proceedings, to the deposit of maintenance actions. In international or inter-cantonal contexts, particular attention is paid to the choice of jurisdiction, to protect and favour the client.

In view of the particular circumstances that can arise in family disputes and acknowledging the importance of post-marital agreements, the attentive protection of the client's interests is always accompanied by an openness to the other party's rationale and a willingness to foster dialogue between both parties.

In addition to assisting the parties in family law disputes, our firm also provides advice on managing the legal relationship between spouses, with particular regard to assets. With this in mind, we have developed an integrated vision that allows us to examine in-depth all possible aspects regarding the marital property regime, taking into consideration, social security, tax, inheritance and possible scenarios of third-party liability.  The familiarity of our lawyers with different legal systems and with the rules of private international law allows us, where necessary, to implement a transnational approach.

In compliance with the necessary notarial aspects, our lawyers are able to draft these contracts in the three national languages as well as in English.
