Family lawyer in Romania

Divorce, division of marital property, parental authority, the child’s residence and maintenance — settled amicably, through mediation or in court.

We provide advice, assistance and representation in amicable settlements, in mediation and before the courts in every kind of family law matter. Our work focuses on divorce, the exercise of parental authority, division of marital property, adoption, and international cases that fall within the jurisdiction of the Romanian courts, such as international divorce, international child abduction and similar matters.

Our approach helps clients understand the practical and legal consequences of family proceedings. We advise you in your own interest and, where appropriate, look for an amicable solution, so that the emotional cost is as low as possible, while also weighing the costs and time needed to resolve the conflict.

The benefits of being represented or assisted in mediation that ends with a signed agreement are:

  • the matter is resolved faster and at lower cost (when property is divided by agreement reached in mediation, the court stamp duty is 50% of the duty payable if you go straight to court);
  • confidentiality and, most importantly, the final decision is yours rather than a court’s. In court, our assistance and representation focus on solutions designed for each client and each case, starting from the client’s interests and with the confidentiality and discretion that family matters require.
