Our Law Firm has advised and represented clients in high-net-worth divorce cases involving complex financial settlements, overseas relocation cases, child arrangement negotiation and mediation, and domestic violence matters.

Our team of family solicitors is committed to helping couples resolve family law disputes in a non-confrontational manner. As with all the best divorce lawyers, one of the primary objectives of our service is to avoid couples ending up in court unless absolutely necessary. This is achieved by entering into round-table negotiations and mediation, both of which Stanislav Kshevitskii and his team have an abundance of expertise.

We understand that when you come to see us about a child arrangement, divorce or other family law matters, you may be under significant emotional pressure. When you instruct our family law solicitors, you will quickly be reassured, not only by their sensitive, compassionate manner but also by how they focus on reaching long-term, workable solutions. We will also help you manage any conflict with your partner or other family members and ensure that the needs of any children are kept at the forefront of any conflict resolution.

If attending court is the only way to resolve your family law dispute, we will robustly represent you in court. Our family law team has developed strong relationships with some of Moscow’s top family law barristers who can appear in court on your behalf. We will ensure that you are kept informed throughout the proceedings and are flexible in our responses to allow for the rapid change in circumstances that can often occur in family law cases.

Our Family Law Services

We provide advice and representation on the following family law matters:

Children and Childcare Arrangements

Legal matters involving children and childcare arrangements require expert, caring legal advice from a good family lawyer who understands the processes involved.  We can assist you with reaching an agreement regarding which parent your children will live with and visiting rights for the non-custodial parent in a non-confrontational manner, using alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation.

Cohabitation and Unmarried Family

Cohabitating couples do not enjoy the same legal protection as those who are married or in a civil partnership. Our Moscow-based family lawyers can advise you on your legal rights if your cohabited relationship breaks down and advise on and draft comprehensive cohabitation agreements.

Divorce and Separation

Divorce and legal separation are harrowing events to go through.  Our family law solicitors, based in Moscow, will work with you throughout the divorce or separation process, helping you make clear, pragmatic decisions about your financial future and arrangements for your children.  Our aim is to ensure your best interests are protected and provide you with the tools to work out arrangements for apportioning your property and assets and making arrangements for your children outside of the courtroom. If litigation becomes inevitable, we will provide strong support, advice, and legal representation.

Dissolution of Civil Partnership

If your civil partnership has ended, our family law solicitors can provide you with sensitive, pragmatic advice on dissolving your civil partnership, reaching a financial settlement, and making arrangements for your children.

Financial Dispute on Divorce

We have an abundance of expertise in negotiating financial settlements in divorce and separation cases.  Our family law solicitors also manage high-net-worth divorce cases and can instruct forensic accountants and wealth management advisors when required, to support you when making your settlement claim.

Family Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

It has long been a policy of the Russian family law system to encourage couples and families to settle disputes outside of the courtroom.  It has been proven that by allowing families to take control and work out arrangements between themselves, the solutions they reach are more likely to last long-term.

Pre-Nuptial and Post Nuptial Agreements

Although they are not fully legally binding, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can carry a lot of weight, should you and your spouse separate in the future. Our family law solicitors can draft pre-and post-nuptial agreements for you. If you have been asked to sign a pre-or post-nuptial agreement, we can provide practical guidance on its implications for your future.

Further services and support for family law clients

We are a niche firm, specializing in family, Immigration, commercial and employment law. Our family solicitors collaborate with other teams to ensure clients receive the best possible advice and support.

Our commercial solicitors can assist you if your divorce means that a family business must be transferred.
