FAMILY AND MATRIMONIAL TEAM


Giambrone Law is the top choice for anyone looking for an Italian family law solicitor or attorney. The Family Law Group comprises two separate teams, in the distinct areas of Matrimonial Finance and Child Law. Equal emphasis is placed on each of these two areas of Family Law. We take pride in the fact that we hold a fine reputation in both.

Find an Experienced Family Law Expert

Each family law attorney is experienced in the complex and increasingly specialised area of cross-border divorces and matrimonial finance disputes. Our family law team deals with claims for ancillary relief involving very substantial assets, difficult issues relating to holdings in private companies, disputes about interests in trusts whether here or off-shore (including discretionary trusts) and pension provision.

Our lawyers frequently act in family law cases to prevent dissipation of assets or to secure the enforcement of orders of the court in this and other jurisdictions and the regulation of the use and occupation of property.

Often the disputes dealt with in family law may be those difficult cases in which the assets the court has to allocate are insufficient, or only just sufficient, to provide for the parties and their children. They may also involve issues concerning insolvency.


Cohabiting Partners

Our family law attorneys are experienced in advising and appearing in law disputes between cohabiting partners where complicated arguments about ownership of assets and trust law are of great importance. We also have comprehensive and country-wide experience in all aspects of litigation involving children.

Each of our family lawyers is regularly instructed in all forms of private family law proceedings to represent parents and children. We have expertise in the competence of children to give instructions, applications to take children abroad on a permanent basis and disputes that may arise concerning education. We also undertake all types of injunctive remedies.


Adoption and Child Disputes

Adoption is an important part of our work in family law. As well as appearing in domestic cases, we have been involved in a number of leading cases of applications to adopt children from abroad to include refugee children.
All aspects of international child disputes are covered by our family law attorneys, to include abduction to and from non-Convention countries and the enforcement and registration of orders made in foreign countries.
