Family law
Besides divorce procedures, there are many other family law issues on which we can advice.
Today, many people’s private lives are not organized by marriage and all laws about marriage. People have children without marriage. Or they will live together after the divorce with their children and the new partner. There are families with same-sex parents. Parents that have adopted. People who buy a house together, without a cohabitation contract. People who don’t know if they are really the parent of the child. Parents who have never properly regulated custody of their child. Parents who argue about whether or not one of them can take the children abroad, for a holiday or for a longer period.
We are happy to help you find solutions for any of these issues.

Family law
Visitation rights
When there is joint authority, this is called a care scheme. If there is no joint authority, it is called a visitation arrangement. In both cases, the child has the primary residence with one parent and an arrangement with the other parent.
Forename
One’s forename can only be changes by a decision of the court. The request should be submitted to the court by a lawyer. The change of the forename will only be allowed if there is a good reason for it. Of course adoption or gender reassignment will be a good reason, but also more specific personal or familial circumstances can be mentioned as a good reason for this personal request.
