Amicable divorce

Amicable divorce allows the spouses to separate by concluding a global agreement, registered with a notary or, in some cases, with the intervention of the judge.
The firm supports its clients at every stage, from negotiation to the drafting of the agreement, in order to guarantee a legally and fiscally secure separation.

SOME EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONS:

Divorce by mutual consent under private agreement : A total agreement is reached on the consequences of divorce. The spouses divorce by signing an agreement registered with a notary.

Agreements during a contentious divorce : While a contentious divorce procedure has begun, the spouses manage to reach an agreement and can submit their agreements to the judge.

Amicable judicial divorce : The spouses agree on the consequences of the divorce, but one of their children asks for a hearing by the judge, or one of the two spouses is the subject of a protection measure.

International amicable divorce : The spouses agree on the consequences of divorce, but one of the connecting states does not recognize a notarial divorce. They submit their agreements to the judge for approval.

Succession and inheritance

Succession law is not based solely on the division of assets: it involves the safety of heirs and the protection of the assets transmitted.

Succession law is based on strict legal rules, but can be modulated by voluntary choices: wills, donations, life insurance or agreements between heirs.

The role of the firm is to analyze all the assets of the deceased and to advise the heirs or executors of the will on the procedures to follow. This includes: the inventory of assets, the identification of heirs, the settlement of debts and charges, as well as the equitable distribution according to legal rules and the wishes of the deceased.

In the context of a succession, several situations may arise: joint ownership between heirs, presence of minor or adult children, assets located abroad, professional assets or company shares. Each case requires an adapted strategy to avoid conflicts and optimize transmission.

The firm also assists you with fiscal aspects: inheritance taxes, legal optimizations and asset declarations. Good preparation reduces tax costs and secures the transmission of assets to beneficiaries.

By choosing personalized support, you ensure that each step, from the identification of assets to the final distribution, takes place in compliance with the law and in the interests of all heirs. Legal expertise makes it possible to anticipate difficulties, to prevent disputes and to provide total security to your inheritance procedures.

Our first tips

Clarify your needs and those of the children: finances, residence, right to visit, pensions, schooling, extra-curricular activities...
Take the time to make a complete inventory of your assets and debts, in order to anticipate the distribution.
Maintain an open dialogue to facilitate negotiations and be sure to submit any agreement to your Council before confirming it.

Can we divorce amicably with children?
lineline
Yes, it is possible to divorce amicably with children. Parents must agree on custody and alimony arrangements. A lawyer helps you formalize these agreements to protect the interests of children.
