Situations we help with
We agree and want to divorce
We draft the settlement agreement so everything is clear: children, home, maintenance and assets. It is usually the quickest route.
We do not agree
We defend your position in a contested divorce, always looking for a negotiated solution if it serves you better.
Our children
Joint or sole custody, contact, holidays and child maintenance, always in the children's best interests.
The current arrangements no longer work
If income, work schedules, residence or the children's needs have changed, the orders can be modified.
Maintenance is not being paid
We claim unpaid maintenance and ask the court to enforce the order.
We married abroad
International couples living in Spain can often divorce here. We check jurisdiction and applicable law.

What our clients value
Professionals with empathy and excellent service.
Pedro was very professional, was available to answer my questions and kept me informed at every step of the process.
Professional and approachable. My matter was handled by the director, Pedro Ortega. I was able to meet him and a few days later they suggested a plan of action. They solved my problem, and at a fair price.
Common questions about divorce in Spain
Can we divorce in Spain if we married in another country?
In many cases yes, especially if you live in Spain. We check which courts have jurisdiction and which law applies.
What is the difference between an amicable and a contested divorce?
In an amicable divorce you both agree on the divorce and its terms, set out in a settlement agreement. In a contested divorce there is no agreement and the judge decides. Amicable divorces are usually quicker, cheaper and less stressful.
Do we each need our own lawyer?
In an amicable divorce you can share the same lawyer. In a contested divorce each party needs their own.
Can custody or maintenance be changed later?
Yes, when circumstances have changed significantly since the order: income, work schedules, a move or the children's needs.
