Family & litigation
Family lawyer in Luxembourg
The firm assists individuals through the key moments of family life in Luxembourg: divorce and separation, child custody and maintenance, matrimonial regimes and successions, including cross-border ones. The aim: clear solutions, amicable where possible, firm where necessary.
Family law touches on both the personal and the financial. The decisions taken (divorce, custody, matrimonial regime, succession) have lasting and often cross-border effects in Luxembourg.
Cerno Law Firm favours negotiated solutions and protects your interests and those of your children.
The need
You are going through a separation, a family conflict or a succession.
The international context (binational couples, assets abroad) complicates the applicable rules.
The risk
An unbalanced agreement, poorly organised custody, a succession governed by an unexpected law, procedural delays.
A decision taken without advice proves costly and hard to undo.
How we help
Advice and representation in divorce, custody, maintenance, matrimonial regime and succession, with a collaborative approach where it is suitable.
Coordination of the cross-border dimensions.
