What we review
We identify the people and assets involved, the arrangements already in place and the points of agreement or dispute. Matters involving children require particular attention to their circumstances and everyday needs.
Documents to prepare
- Relevant family and identity documents
- Existing agreements, wills or court decisions
- Information about assets, liabilities, income and expenses
- A clear outline of the arrangements you would like to resolve
You do not need to arrive with a perfect file. Bring what is available and identify any documents still missing, especially where a formal date or deadline is involved.
Choosing the next step
We help distinguish immediate decisions from longer-term arrangements and explain how an agreed solution compares with contested proceedings. Cross-border connections should be identified at the start because they may affect the legal assessment.
Questions about the process
Can the matter be resolved by agreement?
That depends on the issues and the parties' positions. A clear, workable proposal can help identify common ground, but advice should also explain the implications if an agreement cannot be reached.
How do I arrange an initial consultation?
Call the Madrid office or use the enquiry form. Explain the main facts and any relevant deadline. We will identify the information needed and the scope of any proposed work.
