Custody and Other Child-related Matters
When parents cannot agree, it may be necessary to initiate court proceedings. We can provide good advice and guidance to help you address the issues effectively and understand how to proceed in a custody, residence, or visitation dispute. Our goal as your lawyer is to achieve what you believe is best for the children after we have discussed the legal situation and shared our knowledge of the existing case law. An experienced and legally knowledgeable lawyer can make a significant difference in advocating for your interests. MG Advokater are specialists in this area, with many years of experience representing individuals in need of help and advice.
In matters of child support, our lawyers can also provide valuable advice and represent you in court.
This may, for instance, involve advice regarding custody matters, visitation rights or child support/alimony.
Division of Property
If a dispute arises during the division of property, whether after a marriage or cohabitation, our experienced lawyers and legal professionals can help you.
It can be challenging to find the right documents and know what is needed to proceed after a divorce. The situation might also make it difficult for you to find the time or energy to reach an agreement in your favor. We can advise and provide the legal help you need. The process primarily involves negotiation between the parties to reach an agreement. The issues are not initially handled by the court but may instead involve appointing a property division executor (a lawyer or a Member of the Bar) to make decisions if you cannot agree. In cases of forced property division, if you are not satisfied with the result, your lawyer can also help you with the legal process in court.
During a divorce the joint marital property is divided between the spouses after separating individual property. It is not always easy to distinguish between different types of property, and sometimes difficult questions about hidden co-ownership can complicate matters further. It is advisable to have a lawyer who guides and advocates for you.
In the event of a division of property between cohabiting partners, only the joint residence and household goods are included, unless a cohabitation agreement stipulates otherwise. A prerequisite for a division of property to occur is that it is requested in time, meaning within one year of the separation. Numerous legal questions can arise regarding if and when a division of property should take place, as it is not always clear when a cohabitation relationship is deemed to have commenced or terminated, or if it even constituted a cohabitation relationship in the legal sense. It can be crucial to receive advice and support on all of these aspects if you are facing or have recently undergone a separation from your partner.
