Family Law
Divorce, liquidation of the matrimonial property regime, maintenance and custody disputes, and claims concerning the family residence and acquired property.
Family law governs rights arising from family relationships — marriage, divorce, matrimonial property, custody and maintenance. Dividing assets on divorce, especially real property, overlaps with property law.
Liquidating the participation-in-acquired-property regime, the family-home annotation and transfers of property between spouses are of particular practical importance.
