The laws regarding divorce, property division, child custody, and support in Greece are not the same as the laws in other countries, which makes international divorces difficult.

  The aforementioned written agreements ought to be signed in the presence of the lawyers representing the spouses.
  b. Contested divorce
  The court is asked to put an end on the dispute between the spouses and regulate any aspect of the divorce. Of course, it is possible to include any agreements related to financial matters, use of common last name, custody etc
