Family Lawyers
Family Law Specialists
Family relationships are one of the most sensitive areas of law, as they directly affect personal, financial, and emotional matters of particular importance. Decisions made in family proceedings can have lasting consequences for both the adults involved and their minor children; therefore, it is essential to seek specialized legal advice.
At IN DIEM, we offer comprehensive legal services in family law, supporting our clients through separation, divorce, custody, child support, modification of orders, and proceedings related to minors and legal capacity. Our goal is to provide effective legal solutions that protect each individual’s interests without losing sight of the family’s current circumstances.
Every family has its own unique circumstances and requires a strategy tailored to its specific situation. For this reason, we analyze each case on an individual basis, always seeking the most appropriate solution to reach stable agreements or, when necessary, to defend our clients’ rights in court.
The applicable laws are found primarily in the Civil Code and in the procedural laws governing family proceedings.
Divorce and Separation
The breakdown of a marriage often raises numerous legal issues that must be resolved in an orderly and secure manner. Matters such as child custody, alimony, use of the family home, and the division of financial responsibilities require proper legal planning.
Divorce by Mutual Consent
When both parties are willing to cooperate, a divorce by mutual agreement is usually the fastest, most economical, and least contentious way to end a marriage.
Through this process, spouses can mutually agree on the terms of their separation by entering into a settlement agreement tailored to their needs and those of their children.
Contested Divorce
When it is not possible to reach an agreement, the case must be resolved through a contested divorce.
In these cases, it is particularly important to have a solid legal strategy that allows for the adequate defense of the client’s personal and financial interests before the competent court.
Child Custody and Care
Issues involving minor children are central to most family law proceedings. The best interests of the child are the fundamental criterion that must guide any decision.
Joint custody
Joint custody has become one of the most common arrangements when family circumstances allow both parents to share equally in the care and upbringing of their children.
However, its implementation requires an assessment of factors such as the parents’ ability to cooperate, the family’s prior organizational structure, and the specific needs of the children.
Visitation Arrangements
When custody is not shared, it is necessary to establish a schedule for stays, communication, and visits to ensure that the children maintain an appropriate relationship with both parents.
Each family requires specific guidelines tailored to its personal, work-related, and geographic circumstances.

Child Support and Financial Measures
Family breakdown often requires the establishment of mechanisms to ensure that the children’s needs are adequately met.
The purpose of child support is to contribute to essential expenses such as food, education, housing, health care, and ordinary activities necessary for the child’s development.
The amount is determined based on both the children’s needs and each parent’s financial capacity. Therefore, each case requires an individualized analysis of the family’s current situation and financial circumstances.
In addition to child support, there may be other financial arrangements related to extraordinary expenses, use of the family home, or potential financial settlements between the parents.
Modification of Family Court Orders
Personal and financial circumstances change over time. A measure that is appropriate at the time of separation may no longer be so years later.
Changes in income, changes in employment status, new needs of the children, or significant changes in the family situation may justify a review of the measures previously agreed upon or established by a court.
Amendment Procedures
The modification of orders allows the content of previous orders to be adapted to a new family situation when there are substantial and sufficiently substantiated changes.
These proceedings may affect issues such as custody, child support, visitation rights, or any other previously agreed-upon arrangements.
Proper preparation of the documentation and evidence is particularly important for demonstrating the existence of circumstances that justify the requested modification.
Proceedings Involving Minors and Legal Capacity
Family law also covers numerous issues related to minors and individuals who require support measures to exercise their legal capacity.
Parent-Child Measures
When the parents are not married, or when it is necessary to address matters concerning the children outside of a matrimonial proceeding, proceedings for parental and child-related measures may be initiated.
These proceedings make it possible to resolve key issues such as custody, visitation, child support, and the exercise of parental responsibilities.
We also handle matters related to court orders, disputes over the exercise of parental authority, and other issues that directly affect the well-being of minors.
