Family Law

Discreet advice on divorce, children’s arrangements, maintenance and matrimonial property matters in Cyprus. We consider the immediate concerns and longer-term interests involved, with careful attention to children’s wellbeing.

Separation and divorce

We advise clients considering separation or divorce and explain the relevant legal issues and procedural steps. We begin by understanding your circumstances, priorities and any immediate concerns. Our advice considers the related matters that may require attention, rather than treating the divorce process in isolation.

Parental responsibility, custody and contact

Arrangements involving children call for careful consideration of their wellbeing and the family’s circumstances. We advise on parental responsibility, custody, contact and related disagreements. We assess the available evidence, discuss workable arrangements and represent clients in court where required.

Maintenance and matrimonial property

We advise on maintenance and matrimonial property or financial matters, examining the relevant documents and the positions of the parties. Financial information, ownership records and evidence of contributions may be important to the assessment. We explain the issues that require further evidence and the options for progressing the matter.

Family agreements and representation

We prepare and review family agreements and advise on proposed arrangements, including prenuptial agreements where relevant. Their legal effect requires assessment in the applicable circumstances. Where agreement cannot be achieved, we prepare for proceedings with attention to the evidence, practical consequences and longer-term interests involved.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to start court proceedings immediately?

The appropriate first step depends on the circumstances, urgency and issues involved. We assess whether discussion, negotiation or proceedings are appropriate and identify matters that cannot safely wait.

Can you help with arrangements for children?

Yes. We advise on parental responsibility, custody, contact and related matters, considering the children’s wellbeing and the relevant family circumstances.

What documents should I prepare?

Relevant marriage and family documents, existing court orders, correspondence and financial or property records are useful. We will explain what is needed for the particular issues raised.

Can one lawyer advise both parties?

Do not assume that our firm can act for both parties. We assess potential conflicts and explain whom we can represent before accepting an engagement.
