Our Expertise
Below are the main pillars in which our firm has developed particular know-how and proven success.

1. Divorces – By Consent & Contested
The dissolution of a marriage is one of the most difficult moments in a person’s life. Our firm has significant experience in both consensual and contested divorces, handling dozens of divorce cases each year across Cyprus.
Consensual Divorce – A New Era in Cyprus
With the recent amendment of Law 104(I)/2003, Cyprus introduced the procedure of consensual divorce.
It is a process that is:
• Fast & simple
• Non-confrontational
• Less costly emotionally and financially
• Ideal when there is agreement on key matters
We handle the entire procedure — from gathering and drafting the documents to filing and completing the divorce — offering one of the most streamlined consensual divorce services in Cyprus.
Contested Divorces
In cases where no agreement exists or there are serious grounds for dissolution, we support our clients at every stage by providing:
• Legal strategy
• Collection of evidence
• Representation before the Family Courts
• Management of complex cases involving serious allegations or substantial disputes
In every case, we protect the client’s interests and those of the children, reducing emotional and financial burden — a key priority for those seeking to experienced Divorce Lawyers in Cyprus.

2. Matrimonial Property Disputes – Law 232/1991
Property disputes between spouses are often the most complex part of a divorce. During marriage — and often before it in contemplation of marriage — spouses create joint assets, investments, real estate, businesses or increase the value of each other’s property.
We specialise in:
• Identifying increase of property value
• Proving each spouse’s contribution
• Valuation of assets
• Drafting & pursuing claims
• Complex cases involving real estate, companies, shares and investments
• Issuing prohibitory orders preventing asset dissipation
These disputes are frequently the most contentious aspect of a divorce. Rely on our expertise.

3. Maintenance – Children & Spouses
Maintenance is of key importance both for children and spouses.
As one of the most sensitive topics in Cyprus, we provide specialised support in:
• Determining child maintenance
• Urgent applications
• Amendment of existing orders
• Spousal maintenance
• Enforcement in cases of non-compliance
Our experience ensures that maintenance arrangements reflect real needs, supported by complete financial documentation — a critical element for successful maintenance applications in Cyprus.

4. Parental Care, Custody & Communication – Law 216/1990
The welfare of the child is the cornerstone of every family law matter.
We handle:
• Custody and residence disputes
• Contact and communication arrangements
• Joint parental care
• Decisions regarding education, health and property
• Protection from unlawful removal abroad
