DIVORCE, SEPARATION & DISSOLUTIONS OF CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS - IN SPAIN OR ABROAD
If your marriage or civil partnership has broken down, you will need a legal expert to ensure that you achieve the best resolution for you and your family. At DRM Abogados, our team of expert Spanish and English family lawyers have experience in helping clients resolve issues around finances, children, property, business interests and all of the other complications that come with a divorce, a separation or a dissolution of a civil partnership.
Especially in cases where the marriage or civil partnership has acquired assets either in Spain or elsewhere in the world, it is crucial to seek expert advice and support as soon as possible from a specialist in international family law. Family Law varies from country to country and there are a number of factors that can make international divorce cases more complex. If your case falls within this category, it is of paramount importance to instruct a professional who is able to competently deal with multiple jurisdictions in order to help you settle any matters concerning childcare and overseas assets.
At DRM Abogados, we have led cases in Spain, the UK and other countries around the world. We have a built up an extensive network of foreign legal professionals which means you will have immediate access to the representation you need, wherever you need it. Through our close work with experts and colleagues in other jurisdictions we can provide international legal advice on cross-border issues, certificates of law and expert witness reports to be used either in Spain or in foreign legal proceedings.
Among the various matters we can assist with, please find below a summary of the most frequent instructions we receive:

When it comes to achieving a financial settlement, we know that everybody's case is different and with that in mind we will always assess and advise on each individual case based on its facts. Our experience tells us that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when discussing a financial settlement. We will thoroughly take into account all the circumstances surrounding your case, such as your finances, lifestyle and past and future life events, in order to get the best possible outcome.
The following factors are always taken into account when negotiating the terms of a possible settlement:
You do not necessarily need to go to court to reach a financial settlement – you could agree an outcome with your partner through negotiation, arbitration, mediation or collaboration. We are expert negotiators and can help you find an agreement that suits you and your family, keeping disputes out of court wherever possible. We take the time to understand each case and tailor our service to your specific needs, while also providing a clear cost breakdown, step by step.
