Family Law

Navigating family law issues can be emotionally challenging, especially when managing them from abroad. We therefore understand your need for compassionate and comprehensive legal guidance to help you address family law matters with confidence and clarity.

Key Areas of Family Law

Marriage: Understanding the legal requirements and implications of marriage is essential for couples. Whether you're planning to marry a Filipino citizen or need advice on the legalities in the Philippines, we provide expert consultation to guide you through.

Spousal & Child Support: Ensuring fair and adequate support for spouses and children is crucial. Our team can assist you in understanding your rights and obligations, helping to establish, enforce, or modify support arrangements effectively.

Annulment: Pursuing an annulment can be complex, with specific legal criteria that must be met. A lawyer can help you understand your options and navigate the process effectively.

Child Custody: Child custody matters require sensitivity and a thorough understanding of legal rights. We assist in crafting agreements that prioritize the best interests of the child while considering the needs of all parties involved.

Legal Separation: Legal separation allows couples to live apart while remaining legally married. A lawyer can guide couples on the legal implications, processes, and support arrangements that must be considered.

Declaration of Nullity of Marriage: If a marriage is deemed void under Philippine law, our legal team can guide you through the process of declaring it null. This action requires a clear understanding of the legal grounds and procedures involved.

Adoption: The adoption laws in the Philippines establish the rules and policies for adopting a Filipino child. There are procedures designed to protect the best interests of the child and ensure that the adoption process is thorough and fair. A lawyer can walk you through this process.
