Divorce Proceedings

Family life often comes to an end by mutual decision to divorce. This is not a simple decision and may cause huge stress to both sides. The task of the divorce lawyer is not only to provide legal and informational support to the client but also to alleviate the difficult period of his/her life.   

It should be mentioned that ordinary divorce process is carried out without the judiciary authorities. The joint decision of spouses is enough for the Services Development Agency to register the divorce. Assistance of the divorce lawyer is required in special cases, for example, when one of the spouses does not agree to divorce, is not ready to leave the child to the spouse and when there is a property dispute between the spouses which cannot be settled amicably.  

Divorce proceedings 

As mentioned above, services of divorce lawyer are required only in special cases:  

• When there are common underaged children in the family and it cannot be agreed which of the spouses they should live with; 
• When the spouses cannot reach an agreement over division of common property; 
• When one of the spouses refuses to divorce. 

Each of the above cases are specific and respective experience and qualification of the lawyer are required to settle them. One of the most difficult issues accompanying the divorce process is the case related to granting custody of underaged children to one of the spouses, imposition of alimony and defining the number of meetings of the child and the parent. In such case the lawyer is obliged to put his own emotions, views aside and do his best to achieve the most acceptable outcome for his client.  

The issue of property is also significant. In this case, knowledge of the Civil Code is of primary importance. Despite the fact that the entire property purchased during the marriage is common property and is subject to equal division, there are legal nuances which grant a party the right to request and receive more than 50% of the common property. In such case, the highly qualified lawyer can prove at the court that giving the half of the common property to his client would be unfair and unlawful and more than half of the property should be assigned to him/her.  

One more case when the divorce is carried out through application to the court is the divorce without consent of one of the spouses. In this case, the court may establish the divorce waiting period for the spouses and issue a divorce decree only after it ensures that the measures taken for conciliation appeared to be ineffective. In such situation, a qualified lawyer can help you to avoid excessive procrastination of the proceedings as well as your presence in the court during the stressful divorce proceedings.
