Most Family Law issues spring from a romantic relationship or from family issues.  Such issues can be very taxing on the emotions of the parties involved and require care and finesse to provide the best results while protecting the rights of the client.  This is ever more so when children are involved.

International divorces can be complicated when there are either children involved or when there are assets and debts involved.  One party may own property in another Country which may be subject to a claim or one party may live with the children in another Country.

Mike and his associates at Studio Della Bella have considerable experience in International Divorces and understand the many complexities involved in dealing with both foreign (e.g. USA or UK) and domestic (Italian and EU) jurisdictions.

Divorces are often amicable – where both parties can easily hash out their differences or where the laws are clear and the process is simplified.  However, in most cases divorces are quite complex and can have a very large emotional and financial strain on the parties.

It is important that your International Divorce Lawyer have experience in negotiating settlements, have knowledge of the applicable laws and be strong at litigation when it comes time to for a trial.

WHY You Need an English-Speaking Divorce Attorney in Italy

Because of the difference in both laws and language it is vital to have a divorce lawyer who speaks both languages and understands the processes and procedures as well as the laws applicable in both jurisdictions.

Child Custody, Child Visitation and Child-Support

Many divorces involve children and this brings up the elements of custody (where and with whom the child or children will live and under what circumstances and where) and it may also involve enforcement of foreign custody orders or foreign judgements on visitation rights.  If you already received custody (shared or sole custody) from a foreign judge (outside of Italy) then there is a good chance that we can have that foreign custody order recognized in Italy.

Italy however very strongly supports the Mother in many cases, especially where the child or children are young.  We have represented both Mothers and Fathers in such cases and we understand the Italian courts, laws and of course the cultural differences.

We can also fight for your children when it comes to obtaining the necessary Child-Support contributions from the other parent.
