Separation & divorce

We advise you comprehensively on all issues relating to a separation or divorce and represent you in the related court proceedings.

Separation & divorce
  • Separation agreements and divorce settlements

    Where possible and appropriate, our attorneys endeavour to find amicable solutions for you by drafting a separation agreement or a divorce settlement (comprehensive agreement or partial agreement). We will initiate the necessary legal steps for you and communicate with the other party and the authorities involved.

  • Advice with regard to separation and divorce

    Our attorneys will advise you competently on issues arising in the context of a separation or divorce (alimony or maintenance payments, child support, matters relating to children, joint parental authority, sole parental authority, joint custody, sole custody, visitation rights, family home, matrimonial property settlement, occupational pension rights, separation of property, etc.).

  • Amendment of an interim decision or divorce decree

    We examine the existing interim decision or the existing divorce decree and advise you with regard to a potential amendment. We carefully evaluate the opportunities and risks with regard to changing an existing interim decision or divorce decree and – if advisable given the specific situation – we will conduct negotiations for you with the opposing party. We will represent you in court proceedings and work with you to prepare the necessary legal briefs.

  • Extrajudicial and in court representation

    Our attorneys represent your rights comprehensively in extrajudicial negotiations, interim decisions and separation proceedings, divorce proceedings and amendment proceedings before all of the courts in the Canton of Lucerne and throughout Switzerland.
