Križanec law firm

What is family law?

Family law is a set of legal rules and principles that govern marriage, cohabitation, the relationship between parents and children, adoption, foster care, and guardianship. The lawyers at Križanec Law Firm have been providing clients with comprehensive and professional advice and solutions in the field of family law for over 50 years.

The field of family law is divided into numerous sub-fields:

1. Divorce (also known as separation)
2. Division of joint property of spouses upon divorce
3. Assigning children to care and upbringing
4. Determining contact with the child
5. The question of alimony
6. Establishing or disputing paternity
7. Regulating property relations between spouses - prenuptial agreements
8. Adoption, foster care, guardianship

Our lawyers assist clients in divorce proceedings, amicable divorces, and division of property between spouses. We also provide legal services regarding the child custody process, the regulation of property relations between partners in a common-law relationship, and the drafting of a child support agreement. If the parents cannot agree on contact during the separation (especially if one parent prevents the other parent from having contact), it makes sense to file a motion for a temporary injunction, which we can prepare for you in our law firm. If necessary, we can also prepare a lawsuit to increase or decrease the child support obligation. At the Križanec Law Firm, we also have extensive experience in drafting lawsuits to establish or challenge paternity.

We also provide legal assistance in representing the injured party - the victim in criminal proceedings. We prepare a claim for compensation for the injured party against the alleged perpetrator of the crime, which is usually followed by a civil lawsuit for damages, as the criminal court rarely decides on this issue alone.

If necessary, we also prepare a criminal complaint for the client due to suspicion of committing a criminal offense against a known or unknown perpetrator.
