FAMILY LAW
Through our practice, we have dealt with many cases dealing with the issue of family law, from divorces, alimony, or custodian matter. That is why we are aware of the fact that any family is unique and therefore the approach to the case should be the same.
The lawyer must approach analytically, professionally, and empathically to these matters. Lawyers at Pavleski Law strive to understand the complexity of your situation in order to apply their knowledge and experience in the best and most cost-effective way. Whenever it is possible we exert ourselves to settle the case peacefully through mutual negotiation and reach a common solution without judicial proceedings.
Comparing to the other law branches, in the area of family law, discretion is highly emphasized. Everything conveyed to the lawyer always stays between the lawyer and the client. Additionally, the significance of this approach is stipulated by the law – the public is excluded from family disputes at the court.
Pavleski Law offers complete legal assistance in all areas of family law. The services that we offer are:
DIVORCE
Divorce is one of the most important emotional and legal issues you will face in your life. According to certain studies, the degree of stress that spouses can suffer during the divorce process is extremely high, second only to the stress caused by the death of a loved one. Entering into a divorce without a lawyer can be bad for you and your property, as well as for the rights you may have over the child.
Financial matters
The division of assets is one of the key issues when negotiating a divorce, ending cohabitation or the divorce procedure itself. If there is an agreement between the spouses, the property can be divided by agreement, in the divorce procedure. However, when there is a disagreement regarding how the property should be divided, as well as whether some property is joint or separate, it is necessary to conduct a separate litigation procedure for the division of property.
Parental rights
Exercising parental rights is the most emotionally sensitive issue during a divorce or the termination of a cohabitation. Whether the ex-partners can come to an agreement regarding the custody and the visitation questions, or whether the decision is made by the court due to the impossibility of an agreement between the partners, it is important to have a lawyer on your side who will protect your rights during that process.
Child support
Closely related to divorce and custody is the issue of alimony, i.e. child support. Legal maintenance is of existential importance for the recipient, but also for the provider of maintenance. When the parents are separated, the issue of child support arises. Alimony amounts are fixed and determined by the court.
Domestic violence
Violence in the family is unfortunately an everyday occurrence. As lawyers who often come across cases of domestic violence in their work, we are extremely aware of the fact to what extent it is necessary to react in time in such situations. Time is always of the essence in these proceedings, which is why we are always ready to act quickly to protect the client and their family.
Paternity and maternity
One of the fundamental rights of a child according to the Serbian Family Law is to know who his parents are. The rights of the parents to maintain contact with the child, to raise and look after them, are inextricably linked to this. Often, due to various life circumstances, the child does not know who his biological parent is.
International family law
Given the fact that more and more people are going abroad for work or to start a family, it is becoming quite common for family disputes to involve a foreign element. Divorce, custody of a child or alimony are procedures that are emotionally and procedurally complex in themselves. When we add to that the element of foreignness and the possibility that the procedure can be started in several countries, we come to big dilemmas for the party.
Inheritance
Most people avoid thinking about the moment of discussing their inheritance and the possibility of distributing their assets in a will. However, life is such that postponing the decision on the distribution of property can lead to bad family relations after the death of a family member. That is why we recommend that persons who have valuable real estate make a will and thus determine how their property will be distributed to their heirs.
