Life as a couple is full of ups and downs.
Sometimes it’s necessary to separate, not only for your own well-being, but also for that of any children you may have.
If this is your case, you’ll need advice to help you make the best choices, but also to assert your rights.
The law allows you to choose different ways of getting divorced, although amicable divorce is ideally the best solution.
Not every case has the same requirements, and consequently the same expectations.
What’s more, divorce law in Switzerland is constantly evolving, and only our divorce lawyers can advise you in the best possible way.
If you need advice or assistance with your divorce, our Geneva office can help.
