Complex divorce and family disputes
We act in divorce and separation proceedings whose financial, personal or international circumstances require a clearly defined strategy. Before proceedings begin, we assess jurisdiction, applicable law, the available evidence and the measures that may be required.
Where agreement is possible, we negotiate arrangements capable of being implemented in every relevant jurisdiction. Where litigation is necessary, we conduct the proceedings and coordinate their effects on children, assets and existing obligations.
Child arrangements and parental responsibility
We intervene in proceedings concerning the child's residence, parental responsibility, contact arrangements and decisions of particular importance to the child's life, especially where conflict between the parents has made ordinary decision-making impossible.
Our work focuses on cases whose complexity requires a coordinated strategy, particularly where there are international, financial or child-protection issues or where a proposed relocation may affect the child's relationship with either parent.
Protection of children and domestic violence
When allegations of violence, coercion, abuse or serious risk arise, the family and criminal dimensions of the case must be assessed together. Protective measures must be based on verified facts, appropriate evidence and the needs of the children concerned.
We coordinate the proceedings and urgent measures that may be required, paying particular attention to the child's safety, the right to be heard and the effect that decisions in one jurisdiction may have in another.
Families across the Dominican Republic and Spain
International family cases may raise questions of jurisdiction, applicable law, relocation, child abduction and the recognition or enforcement of decisions made abroad. Acting in only one country may leave the underlying conflict unresolved.
We determine where proceedings should be brought, coordinate documentation and evidence between jurisdictions and direct the steps required so that the resulting decision can produce its intended effects.
Family assets and enforcement of decisions
A family dispute may also affect property, companies, investments, debts and assets situated in different countries. These financial interests must be identified and protected without treating them as entirely separate from the family proceedings.
We also act in the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and agreements concerning children, maintenance, family assets and other obligations, coordinating their legal and practical consequences within one strategy.
Family, children, personal protection and assets must be addressed as parts of the same legal matter, rather than as isolated proceedings.
