If you are looking for a lawyer in Thessaloniki to handle your divorce case, then at our law firm you will find the most experienced lawyers for your family law cases.

The dissolution of marriage by consensual or dissenting divorce is a very sensitive issue, with social, economic and psychological aspects for the parties involved.

Our goal is to manage the divorce process as smoothly as possible, especially when it comes to maintenance, child’s custody and communication issues with the other parent.
Smoothing the frictions that arise, avoiding unnecessary litigation and handling the case with very subtle handling, is crucial.
Issues such as claiming of maintenance or defence against a maintenance lawsuit, regulating child custody and communication, and clearing up spouses’ property disputes are a daily practice at our office.
We undertake to guide and provide legal advice and legal representation on critical family law matters (divorce, separation, maintenance, property claims acquired at marriage), standing next to our respective client and understanding his or her needs, with complete confidentiality, understanding and immediacy.

The following are some common questions we are asked as divorce lawyers:
• How long does the divorce take to come out?
The answer to that question depends on which divorce procedure to follow. Should the parties get a consensual divorce, the latter comes out in just two weeks. If either party does not sign the divorce, the court will take at least 6 months.
• He/She does not divorce me and does not sign. What should I do;
Unfortunately, not all cases are resolved by consensual divorce. In this case, we are heading to a dissenting divorce or divorce due to separation when there is a separation between the spouses for more than two years. The latter is called by many as an automatic divorce, since the only prerequisite to get it is the two-year separation.
• How much does a divorce cost?
The cost of a divorce varies from case to case and depends on many factors such as whether to have a child maintenance court, custody, if there are property disputes between the spouses, etc. In the case of a consensual divorce before a notary the costs are reduced as less court actions are required. It should be noted that a minimum lawyer’s fee for consensual divorce (representation in a notary) has been legislated, which is approximately 400 Euros including VAT.
• He/She does not pay me maintenance. What should I do;
Divorce and child issues are a constant concern for our clients when they come to our law firm as it is unfortunately often the case that one parent does not pay maintenance to the mother who usually has the custody of the child or pay too little maintenance that is not sufficient for the child’s needs. In this case, a lawsuit should be filed with the court. If the parent still does not pay maintenance after the lawsuit, the law provides for criminal penalties and enforced execution (seizure of salaries, etc.).
• How can I take care of a minor child?
Child custody is usually entrusted to the mother, and this can be done either through consensual divorce (with the private agreement signed by the parents) or through a custody lawsuit. Custody is excluded from the mother in exceptional cases, such as drug addiction, mental illness, etc.
• What are the rights of the father in case of divorce?
In the case of a divorce, when the child or children are entrusted to the mother, the father has the right to exercise both parental responsibility and, of course, to communicate with the child. The father is equally involved in decisions concerning the administration of the property of the minor child and the representation of the minor in each case. Furthermore, the father has the right to communicate with the child on appropriate days and hours and the child to stay overnight at the father’s place of residence, usually two weekends a month as well as during Christmas, Easter and summer holidays.
• Common property after divorce and entitlement to acquisitions. What applies;
The rights of the spouse to the property of the other spouse after the divorce are referred to in Article 1400 of the Civil Code which states that if the property of one spouse has been increased after marriage, the other spouse, if he/she has contributed in any way to the increase, is entitled to claim the part of the increase that comes from his/her own contribution. Law establishes a presumption of one spouse’s contribution to the increase of the other’s property by one third (1/3). This presumption is not irrefutable. Each spouse can prove smaller, greater or even zero contribution. This claim is called acquisition rights.
• What about primary housing – family home after the divorce?
It is customary to allow the use of the family home or part of it to the parent who has custody of the children until they reach adulthood. For this to happen, it must have been agreed either extrajudicially or on court. The court takes into account the specific circumstances of each case and the interest of the minor children.
• Who is a good divorce and family law lawyer?
It is a question that concerns our clients about how to handle their divorce case. In our opinion a good divorce and family law lawyer should aim to solve all problems in the most bloodless and expeditious way, taking into account not only the current situation but also foreseeing any future problems that may arise. And when there is a child by marriage, special care must be taken to normalize things.
• Maintenance after divorce. What applies?
A maintenance payment can be justified after the divorce when it is justified by social considerations, so that the ex-spouse will not remain helpless when he / she is unable to provide for his / her income, property or occupation, to cover his / her maintenance needs and especially when he / she has custody of minor children.
