Our legal services in the field of family law
MARRIAGE:
Prenuptial agreement
- You can find more about the prenuptial agreement below in the PROPERTY section.
Divorce
- In the case of divorce, we advise clients on what is good to do before filing for divorce and what is good to prepare for.
- We prepare for clients motions for divorce to the court, as a marriage can only be divorced in the Czech Republic through court proceedings. Subsequently, clients we also represent in the initiated proceedings.
- If the spouses have a minor child/children, the court will divorce the marriage only after adjusting the relationship with these children. Therefore, at the same time as the proposal for divorce, it is necessary to submit a proposal for the adjustment of relations with minor children. Spouses can enter into an agreement on care, access and alimony and submit it to the court for approval. The joint property of spouses can be settled in the same way.
ADJUSTMENT OF RATIOS TO CHILDREN:
Care, intercourse and alimony
- Adjustment of relations with minor children usually occurs in case of divorce or separation of spouses.
- If this happens, we pretend to clients what options they have for further action - forms of child care, regulation of contact and determination of alimony. We always try to outline all the possibilities and recommend to the client the most appropriate solution to his situation from our point of view.
- Then we prepare a proposal to adjust relations with children or wording agreements on the adjustment of relations with minor children, which is usually subsequently approved by the court.
- We also specialize in cases where the counterparty is a highly conflicted person, with which any agreement seems impossible.
PROPERTY:
Prenuptial agreement
- Even before marriage, we advise clients on how to take care of their property and finances.
- We prepare prenuptial agreements and other documents to adjust property relationships before marriage.
- In the case of already established joint property of the spouses, we advise how to adjust the property relations - expansion of SJM, narrowing of SJM, cancellation of SJM.
Settlement of joint property of spouses (SJM)
- In the event of the need for an SJM settlement, typically in the case of a divorce, we look for the most advantageous solution for clients and draw attention to the possible pitfalls of individual settlement methods.
- At the same time, we prepare agreements and proposals for the settlement of SJM and also represent clients in court proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Divorce is a legal process that ends a marriage. First, one of the spouses must file a divorce petition with the court. If the spouses agree on the divorce and its terms and present the agreement in question to the court (so-called uncontested divorce), the process can be quick and seamless. If they do not agree (so-called contested divorce), the court decides not only on the divorce itself, but also on the division of property, custody of children and possible alimony. The length of the entire process depends on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the spouses to cooperate. The court will not divorce the marriage until the conditions for the spouses' common children have been adjusted.
The court decides on child care based on the best interest of the child. There are several options – exclusive care of one of the parents, alternating care or common care. The court can also determine the extent of contact for the parent who does not have the child in their care.
Child support is a financial contribution that the court can order one of the parents or spouse to contribute to cover the living needs of a child or ex-partner. The amount of alimony depends on the needs of the person receiving it and the financial capabilities of the person paying it.
If one of the parents does not pay the alimony determined by the court, a motion can be filed to initiate enforcement proceedings.
Joint property of the spouses includes property acquired by the spouses during the marriage, excluding personal gifts, inheritances and property acquired before the marriage. In the case of divorce, joint property is settled either by agreement between the spouses or by a court decision. If the spouses agree, they can divide the property according to their needs and preferences. If no agreement is reached, the court will decide, which tries to divide the property fairly, taking into account the situation of both parties and the possible needs of the children. Debts or liabilities that the spouses acquired together during the marriage are also included in the settlement.
