Family law and child protection
Family matters need a balanced mix of firmness and empathy. I help you navigate divorces, custody, parental authority, and cross-border cases, aiming for solutions that protect the best interests of the child and respect your rights.
From negotiations and notarial agreements to litigation, I make sure you understand each step, options, and likely outcomes before acting.
Divorce procedures
- divorce for fault;
- divorce by mutual agreement;
- partition of marital assets;
- establishing the child's residence;
- parental authority;
- visitation schedules;
- child support.
For complete details on the divorce procedure, see the dedicated divorce representation page.
Child protection
- establishing children’s residence;
- changing contact/visitation schedules;
- relocations, conflicts, urgent measures;
- enforcing decisions regarding minors.
Family law seems mid-level in complexity, but in practice it requires heightened care, focused evidence strategy, and solutions that balance legal success with long-term family impact. A specialised family lawyer aims not only to “win” procedurally, but to avoid unnecessary conflict, protect the child, and guide clients on real risks and chances.
Case-law (e.g., ECHR) shows that restricting a parent’s contact must be well justified, and a balanced parenting schedule is essential for the child’s development.
Family law with cross-border elements
For families with members abroad, I provide:
- application of EU Regulations (e.g., 2201/2003);
- determining jurisdiction of Romanian or foreign courts;
- drafting and reviewing cross-border documents.
Cross-border cases need extra attention because they involve complex norms and procedures. Correct jurisdiction analysis is essential for a fast, lawful outcome.
When do you need family law advice?
- when divorce is being considered;
- when there are disagreements about the children;
- when a parent wants to change the contact schedule;
- in situations of domestic violence or emotional abuse;
- when you face an international family case.
