INTERNATIONAL FAMILY LAW

We provide legal services for cross borders families.

We provide specialised legal support in international family law matters involving cross-border elements and requiring expertise in both national and European procedural law. We handle cases involving international child abduction, relocation of minors, and disputes concerning parental responsibility, child custody and contact, addressing complex issues of international jurisdiction and applicable law under the relevant international conventions and EU regulations.

Indicative services we provide include:

01.

International divorces and the regulation of matrimonial property relations involving more than one legal system.

We handle divorce cases involving spouses of different nationalities or residing abroad, the regulation of their matrimonial property relations, as well as the recognition of foreign divorce judgments in Greece, determining the competent jurisdiction and applicable law in accordance with EU regulations and international conventions.

02.

International child abduction and cross-border family disputes in general.

We represent parents in cases involving the wrongful removal or retention of a child abroad, under international conventions and EU regulations.

03.

Relocation of minors to another country.

We assess the best interests of the child and pursue or contest relocation applications before the courts.

04.

Intercountry adoptions and the recognition of foreign adoptions in Greece.

We assist families with intercountry adoption procedures, as well as adoptions involving international elements more generally, and handle the recognition of foreign adoptions in Greece.
