WE PROVIDE LEGAL SERVICES IN EUROPEAN, INTERNATIONAL AND IMMIGRATION LAW IN THE TERRITORY OF THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC.
When spouses, nationals of different states divorce or when family law proceedings are conducted on the regulation of the exercise of parental rights and obligations to a minor child, one of whose parents is a citizen of a foreign state, special legal rules may apply. The legal aspects of these family relationships are specific and governed not only by Slovak family law but also by other legislation.
In case the spouses have common children, various legal aspects of their care may arise. Foreign language couples should agree on care after their children. In cases where the parents do not agree, it is necessary to decide on the maintenance of the minor by court, adjust the exercise of parental rights and obligations to the child, determine the minor’s contact with the other parent or relatives’ contact with the child. There are also more cases of parental abduction of minor children outside the Slovak Republic by parents. Opposite situations may happen too – a citizen of the Slovak Republic moves with the child from abroad back to Slovakia without the consent of the other parent that remained abroad.
At our law firm, we are used to dealing with family matters of all kinds of families and we actively use our experience and knowledge of EU and international law for the benefit of our clients. We provide legal advice in European law and legal services in resolving legal relations with nationals of foreign countries.
Each family works differently and parents’ communication about the minor varies from case to case. In our law firm, the client is always given the opportunity to tell their story.
We listen carefully to the client and, based on important circumstances and with the help of individual supplementary questions, we analyze the situation, evaluate the possibilities of action and provide guidance. We will comprehensively instruct the client about the possibilities of a legal solution to his problem.
In the case of personal care of a minor child, we provide complete coverage of the whole process, from filing a lawsuit, representation in proceedings, appeals, to a valid court decision to entrust the minor child, not excluding the possibility of providing preliminary protection of the interests of the minor and client. urgent action even before or during court proceedings.
A minor child may be entrusted to the exclusive personal care of the father or mother. The parents are equal and the individual circumstances of the case must be taken into account in each individual case. The courts decide as it is in the best interests of the minor. In practice, we have extensive experience with entrusting a minor child to a father (into the sole personal care of the father) as well as entrusting the child to a mother (personal care of the mother).
It is always important to carefully adjust the contact with the other parent and the issue of child support. In the event of a change in circumstances, it is possible to file a petition with the court to change the entrustment of the minor child, to change the parent’s contact with the minor child or to propose a reduction in maintenance or a proposal to increase maintenance.
