Family Law

Family law incorporates legal rules and principles that regulate the personal and property relations of family members, as well as the relations of family members towards third parties, and all issues are regulated by the norms of the Family Law and other positive regulations relevant to this area.

A professional lawyer’s approach to resolving disputes between family members strives for a peaceful solution through closing a settlement or agreement, emphasizing that the goal of all involved parties is to settle disputes as quickly as possible with minimal costs.
