Divorce and breakup: A complex process with personal and financial interests

Divorce marks a profound life change, fraught with emotional, financial and legal issues. More than just ending a marriage or breaking up as cohabitants, it touches on issues ranging from the welfare of children to the division of property and debts. At such a crucial stage, professional legal support is indispensable, given the potential impact on child support, custody and visitation arrangements.

At Simmelink Law Firm, we are fully aware of the finer details of this area of law and are committed to providing you with clear, empathetic and focused guidance.

Alimony: financial stability after divorce

Alimony is essential for financial security after a divorce. This can cover both contributions to the upbringing of children (child support) and support for the ex-partner (spousal support). Determining appropriate alimony requires careful consideration of several factors, including income, needs and desired standard of living. It is critical to reach equitable child support agreements that serve both the interests of both parties and the welfare of any children.

At Simmelink Law Firm, we have the expertise to handle your alimony issues thoroughly and fairly.

Parental Authority: The responsibility over children

Parental authority concerns the responsibilities and rights of parents for their minor children. This involves decision-making around parenting, care and the child’s assets.

At Simmelink Law Firm, the welfare of the child is paramount. We carefully guide parents through the legal landscape, seeking a resolution that both benefits the child and respects the parents’ rights.
