Family law: steps to follow in the event of a divorce

Are you planning to divorce your partner and don't know how to proceed? At LVG Legal we know that these moments are full of uncertainty. That's why, as family lawyers in Ourense and Monforte de Lemos , we have prepared this basic guide on how you should act in this process.

Divorce without complications: how to overcome this legal process

  1. Consult a lawyer. The first and most important thing is to put yourself in the hands of a lawyer specializing in family law, such as those at LVG Legal. At our firm, we will advise you on your rights and obligations, and explain the procedure to follow in your particular case.
  2. Regulatory agreement. In most cases, it is advisable to reach a mutual agreement on child custody, alimony, division of property, and other relevant matters. This agreement is set out in a document called a regulatory agreement.
  3. Filing the petition. Once you have reached an agreement or if this has not been possible, the petition for divorce is filed with the competent court.
  4. Judicial phase . The judge will analyze the claim and the regulatory agreement (if there is one) and will issue a ruling, declaring the divorce and approving the agreed measures.

What aspects are regulated in a divorce?

  • Child custody . It is decided who the children will live with, if any, and what the other parent's visitation schedule will be.
  • Alimony . The amount that one spouse must pay to the other for the maintenance of the children is established.
  • Division of assets . It determines how the assets acquired during the marriage will be distributed.
  • Visitation regime. This establishes how the children will be able to visit the parent who does not have custody.
  • Alimony. In some cases, alimony may be awarded to the spouse whose financial capacity has been reduced due to the divorce.
