The Law Firm provides legal assistance in matters related to family law, in particular those concerning the dissolution of marriage, separation and division of joint property. These cases – due to their personal nature and possible financial consequences – require both a thorough legal analysis and an individual approach.

Divorce cases
Our Law Firm represents clients in divorce proceedings, both in cases where the divorce occurs without adjudicating fault and in cases in which it is necessary to prove the fault of one of the spouses. The scope of services includes, among others:
• advice before filing a divorce petition or responding to a lawsuit,
• drafting a petition for divorce or a response to the petition,
• representation before the court in the course of proceedings,
• determining issues related to parental authority, contact with children, alimony and the use of shared housing.

Our Law Firm also supports clients in attempts to settle the case amicably, if there are grounds for it. In particular, mediation plays an important role in the divorce process. Both before filing for divorce and during court proceedings, spouses have the opportunity to use the services of a mediator who helps them find an agreement on the terms of the divorce. Mediation can speed up the process and reduce the costs associated with divorce. If the case is referred to mediation, the mediator invites the parties to a meeting at which the parties, with the help of the mediator, work out a common compromise on the terms of the divorce.

Separation
Separation can be a solution for people who are not yet decided to divorce, but for various reasons no longer live together. Separation proceedings are similar to divorce and may also include decisions on children, alimony and joint residence of the spouses. Our Law Firm provides:
• advice on the premises and legal consequences of separation,
• preparation of pleadings in a separation case, including a statement of claim, a statement of defence or further pleadings
• representation in court proceedings as a party's attorney

Division of joint property
After the termination of the marital community of property – whether as a result of divorce, separation, conclusion of a marital property agreement in the form of a notarial deed (the so-called prenuptial agreement) or the establishment of marital separation of property in another way (e.g. in court proceedings for the establishment of separation of property) – it is possible to divide the joint property of the parties. Our Law Firm provides assistance in:
• determining the composition of joint and personal property,
• assessment of expenditures and settlements between spouses,
• preparation of an application for division of property and representation of the client in court proceedings,
• negotiations on the division of property in the amicable form.

The division of property may include various types of assets, m.in. real estate, funds accumulated in bank accounts, enterprises, movables, contributions recorded on the ZUS sub-account of both spouses, etc.

In family law cases, the law firm provides support based on discretion, diligence and respect for the client's personal situation. Each case is analysed individually, taking into account both legal aspects and practical consequences of the actions taken.
