Family law

We provide comprehensive legal support in the field of family law, delivering professional and precise solutions in both straightforward situations and complex disputes. We assist with document preparation as well as representation before courts and state authorities.

Support in Divorce Proceedings

Divorce before a Notary:
When comparing divorce before a sworn notary with divorce through the court, the notarial process is faster and takes less time; however, this is only possible if there are no disputes between the spouses. If neither spouse withdraws the divorce application in writing within 30 days from the date it is submitted to the notary, the marriage is dissolved.

Divorce through the Court:
When a divorce takes place in court and the parties cannot reach agreement on specific issues (such as division of property, child custody, or maintenance), the court process becomes longer, as disputes must be examined and decisions adopted. There may be several court hearings, and each party may submit claims that must be reviewed and assessed.

Divorce with a Foreigner in the Territory of Latvia:
We provide full legal support in divorce proceedings involving a foreign national. We offer:

• Assistance in drafting the required documents;
