Family and divorce

A family conflict is not managed from a generic diary.

Divorce, custody, maintenance and liquidation with partner judgment and mediation when it brings calm.

Looking for a divorce lawyer in Madrid?

If you arrived because of a breakup, custody or liquidation, this is what is usually at stake and how we approach it.

  • Partner signature

    A partner with a doctorate in Law leads the file, not a passing associate.

  • Mediation when it helps

    Accredited family mediation if it reduces harm and shortens the conflict.

  • Custody with judgment

    Proposals aligned with the child’s interests and each household’s reality.

  • Clear liquidation

    Community assets without diluting the mandate in an internal chain.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers for those looking for a divorce lawyer in Madrid.

Amicable or contested divorce?

If there is agreement on children, housing and money, an amicable divorce is usually faster and less costly.

If there is blockage, violence, hidden assets or refusal to negotiate, a contested route may be necessary.

In the first consultation we say which route fits today and what papers are needed.

How is custody decided?

The guiding criterion is the child’s best interests. Prior care, availability, environment and ability to cooperate are weighed.

There is no single formula: shared or sole custody depends on the concrete case.

We prepare proposal and evidence with realism, without promising an outcome.

What does liquidation of community property include?

Inventory of assets and liabilities, valuation of property and companies, and allocation or equalisation.

It can be negotiated alongside the divorce or later, depending on strategy.

We explain basic tax risks and when to coordinate with the firm’s tax track.

Do you offer family mediation?

Yes, when it brings calm and there is room to agree. It does not replace legal advice or force you to give up a claim.

If mediation is unsuitable, we say so early.

The aim is to reduce harm, not prolong the conflict.

How much does a divorce cost?

It depends on amicable or contested, children, liquidation and urgent measures.

We do not quote generic fees without knowing the case.

On the first conversation we explain phase and fee model.

Do you handle cross-border divorces?

Yes. Different residences, assets abroad or children with links to another country are common.

We work in Spanish, English and Romanian when needed.

On the first call we identify jurisdiction, applicable law and what is resolved from Madrid.

Tell us about the conflict.

First response from a partner. Not a chain of associates.
