What do you need help with?

Select the situation closest to yours.

Divorce

We review the marriage, current residences, existing proceedings and documents before discussing the route and issues to address.

Property division

We identify assets, ownership records and relevant family arrangements so that the property questions can be assessed separately and clearly.

Alimony or financial support

We review the circumstances, any existing agreement or order and the financial information relevant to the support issue.

Child support

We examine existing arrangements, the children’s needs and available financial information to identify the next legal step.

One person lives abroad

We review the countries involved, existing orders and procedural questions that may require coordination with foreign counsel.

The process

How we help you move forward

  1. Clarify the situation

    We identify the family relationships, residences, existing agreements, court cases and any urgent deadlines.

  2. Review documents and priorities

    We organize the records relevant to divorce, assets or support and separate the issues requiring attention.

  3. Assess options

    We explain the legal work involved in negotiation, agreement or court proceedings for your circumstances.

  4. Work toward implementation

    We assist with the agreed legal steps and address how any agreement or order needs to be documented or carried out.

Separate the issues to move forward

Divorce, financial arrangements and property questions may require different evidence and work. We help identify what can be addressed together and what needs separate attention.

Interactive guide

What needs attention first?

Choose an option to see what to prepare for an initial review.

I received court papers

Send the complete notice and the date you received it. We review the proceeding and any response deadline before addressing the wider dispute.

We want an agreement

Set out the issues you agree on and those still unresolved. We can assess the documents needed to record workable arrangements.

There is already an order

Provide the order and explain what has changed or what is not being followed. Existing decisions shape the next available steps.

Documents

What should you have ready?

Start with what you have. The document list for your matter will depend on the facts and the agreed scope.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Can you help if I live outside Argentina?

Yes. We can begin with a remote document review and assess representation and cross-border coordination for the particular case.

Will every matter need a contested court case?

We assess the circumstances and available options. The approach depends on the issues, the parties and any existing proceedings.

Can a foreign divorce or order simply be used in Argentina?

Its intended use and recognition or procedural requirements need review. Send the complete document and explain what you need it to achieve.

How are fees and timing assessed?

The scope depends on the issues and procedural stage. We discuss the work after reviewing the case rather than promising a universal duration.
