Frequently asked questions
- How long does an amicable divorce take?
- An amicable divorce is completed relatively quickly and out of court, by notarial deed, provided the spouses agree on all issues (including custody/maintenance where there are children).
- How is child custody determined?
- The paramount criterion is always the child's best interest. We seek arrangements that secure the child's stability and a meaningful relationship with both parents, by court or by agreement.
