Questions about this
What documents do I need for a divorce?
Usually the statement of claim, the marriage certificate, the children’s birth certificates, copies of both ID cards and a receipt for the court fee. The exact list depends on your situation; we settle it at the first meeting.
My spouse does not agree to the divorce. What can I do?
Without consent, the marriage is dissolved by a court. The court may give the couple time to reconcile. In such cases it pays to prepare your position and evidence in advance.
How is child support calculated?
Child support is set either as a share of the parent’s income or as a fixed sum. If income or family circumstances change, the amount can be increased or reduced through the court.
