Family law

Our specialist legal advice in family law relates to providing legal support and advice to individuals in matters concerning family relationships. The dissolution of a marriage and the impending break-up of a family can be associated with a variety of emotions. On the one hand, financial aspects are relevant; on the other hand, the direct needs of all parties involved must be taken into account, especially when joint children are involved. Our services cover the following areas of Swiss family law:

  • Advice on and drafting of marriage and cohabitation agreements
  • Rights and obligations in marriage or civil partnerships
  • Support in divorce proceedings
  • Pension equalization
  • Arrangements for joint parental care, custody and residence rights for joint children
  • Arrangement of contact arrangements
  • Dispute resolution for joint custody issues

  • Enforcement of or defense against maintenance claims
