Separation and Divorce

Before filing for divorce, it is important to understand the various issues that will need to be resolved and the consequences of each decision.

During the consultation, we analyze your situation, the possibilities for reaching an agreement, and any family or financial considerations that need to be taken into account. The goal is to ensure that you have enough information to make an informed decision before accepting a proposal or taking any action.

Divorce by mutual agreement or contested divorce

When the parties reach an agreement, a divorce by mutual consent typically allows them to jointly resolve the personal and financial matters that need to be settled. If no agreement is reached, it may be necessary to resort to litigation so that the court can resolve the disputed issues.

Before choosing a course of action, it is advisable to review your family situation, arrangements regarding children, housing, alimony, and relevant financial matters. During the consultation, we will analyze which scenario best fits your situation and what documentation may be required.

If you'd like to learn more about the differences between the various options, you can also consult the guide on divorce in Spain.

Does divorce mean you have to sell the house?

The shared home can become a key issue in the separation: ownership, use, the mortgage, and the willingness to sell must be analyzed before making any commitments. If selling the home is the right course of action, Claramente Legal can coordinate the real estate process with trusted professionals.

Custody, visitation, and agreements between parents

When children are involved, decisions must be considered with special care. I can advise you on the legal issues related to custody, living arrangements, visitation rights, and agreements between parents.

We can also review a proposal before signing it or assess what options are available when there is no agreement.

Child support, compensatory payments and changes to family measures

Personal and financial circumstances can change over time. If arrangements have already been agreed upon or established and a significant change has occurred, a consultation allows you to assess the situation and understand what alternatives may be available.

I can also advise you on questions related to child support or spousal support and explain what factors need to be considered in each case.

A clear, decision-oriented approach

Family law counseling does not necessarily mean initiating legal proceedings. In many cases, the primary goal is to fully understand the situation, prioritize issues, and negotiate from a more informed position.

During the consultation, we will review the facts, the documentation, and the main options. If the matter requires drafting agreements, negotiation, or further action, you can decide whether to proceed once you understand the scope of the work and the fees.
