Our specialized family law services

Family law is a broad field, and Fidelity's legal team provides precise legal solutions for four common core issues:

1. Divorce Litigation & Agreement

Not all marriages end amicably. When a divorce cannot be reached by mutual consent, you need strong legal grounds.

• Divorce by mutual consent: Assist in drafting a comprehensive divorce agreement to ensure that there are no worries about property and children's rights.
• Divorce by CourtIn cases involving domestic violence, infidelity, or other serious reasons, one may file for divorce in court by citing Article 1052 of the Civil Code.
• Infringement of spousal rightsRegarding third-party interference in a marriage, assist in gathering evidence and claim damages.

2. Child Custody/Parental Rights

Children are the apple of their parents' eyes and the focus of court proceedings.

• Best Interest PrincipleThe court, pursuant to Article 1055-1 of the Civil Code, will consider the "best interests of the child." We will assist you in gathering favorable evidence (such as primary caregiver records and support systems) to fight for custody or visitation rights.
• Fighting for child supportEnsure that the other party shares the costs of raising the children proportionally until they reach adulthood.

3. Distribution of Marital Assets

Divorce is not just the end of a relationship, but also the liquidation of assets.

• Claims of rightsAccording to Article 1030-1 of the Civil Code, when the statutory property regime for spouses is terminated, the balance of marital property after deducting debts shall be divided equally.
• Asset preservationFidelity's legal team can assist in investigating hidden assets and placing false seizures to prevent asset stripping.

4. Inheritance and Wills

• Will DraftingAssistance in drafting a valid will (handwritten, notarized, or written on behalf of another) to avoid disputes after death.

The three core areas of family law services

1. Divorce Litigation and Agreement Drafting

There are two main types of divorce: "divorce by mutual consent" and "divorce by court order".

• Divorce by mutual consent: The key is a comprehensive divorce agreement. We will help you review the terms to avoid future disputes such as obstruction of visitation rights or arrears in child support.
• Divorce by court: If the other party is unwilling to let go, we will assist in collecting evidence that meets the requirements of Article 1052 of the Civil Code (such as domestic violence, adultery, or malicious abandonment) to seek a divorce decree from the court.

2. Fighting for child custody (parental rights)

Children are not bargaining chips; we adhere to the principle of "the best interests of the child." When determining custody, the court does not simply consider who has the most money. We will assist you in preparing a "Parenting Capacity Report" to prove that you are the primary caregiver capable of providing a stable environment for your child's growth, thus securing sole custody or a joint custody arrangement that is in your best interest.

3. Distribution of Remaining Property

After a marriage ends, how should assets be settled? We will assist you in conducting a precise asset investigation, calculating the difference between pre-marital and post-marital assets, ensuring you can get back half of what is rightfully yours, or pursuing recourse against any malicious asset stripping by your spouse.

[Frequently Asked Questions] Family Law Q&A: Divorce, Guardianship, and Property

Q1: I want a divorce but my spouse refuses to sign the papers. Can I file for divorce unilaterally?

A: If a divorce cannot be reached by mutual agreement, it must meet one of the "Ten Statutory Grounds for Divorce" stipulated in Article 1052 of the Civil Code.(e.g., bigamy, abuse, abandonment, etc.) or haveOnly when "major flaws" make the marriage unsustainable can one file for divorce in court. It is recommended to first collect relevant evidence (such as conversation records, medical examination reports), and consult a lawyer to assess the chances of winning.

Q2: In divorce cases, who usually gets custody of the children? Does higher income guarantee a win?

A: When determining guardianship (parental rights), the court does so based on the "best interests of the child."The core focus is not solely on economic capacity. Judges will consider social worker visit reports in their assessments.Factors such as "primary caregiver principle," "continuity of care," "stability of living environment," and "children's affinity to the mother" all play a role. The lower-income parent, if they can demonstrate superior parenting ability, still has a high chance of obtaining custody.

Q3: What is the "right to claim a share of the remaining assets"? Is it mandatory to give half of the assets to the other party in a divorce?

A: Under the statutory property regime, in principle, marital assets minus marital liabilities are divided equally between the parties upon divorce. However, inheritances, gifts, and alimony are not included in the distribution. If equal distribution is manifestly unfair (e.g., one party has made no contribution to the family), the court may adjust the distribution ratio or exempt them from distribution.
