Our Family and Divorce Lawyers services are globally accessible and cover:
- Counselling before and after divorce (regarding child custody, child maintenance payments, spousal maintenance, family home, asset division, etc.);
- Transcription of divorces granted in foreign countries.

- Writing of contracts and pre-nuptial agreements, as well as the preparation and delivery of all the necessary documents.
Our fees policy follow strict transparency criteria and our clients are always aware of the total amount of fees to pay or calculation method.
We are very much aware of the very particular challenges that face the Portuguese divorce attorney nowadays, especially when it comes to defending the child’s best interests. Custody cases can no longer be configured as a traditional lawsuit in which two parties with opposing interests face each other. Instead, it is necessary to consider custody cases as a one-party only process: the child or young person whose superior interest should constitute the ultimate goal of the court order.
