Divorce represents one of the most sensitive areas of family law. Proceedings are governed by the Act on Family and the Code of Civil Non-Contentious Procedure, culminating in a final and binding judicial decree dissolving the marriage due to a qualified breakdown of marital relations. Where the spouses have minor children, the court concurrently determines the exercise of parental rights and responsibilities for the period following the divorce. Our firm provides complete legal counsel—from initial consultation and the drafting of petitions for divorce and parental rights arrangements, to legal representation at preliminary hearings and trial proceedings, as well as subsequent settlement of Joint Property of Spouses (BSM). We approach every case individually, with strict emphasis on confidentiality and the protection of our client’s best interests.
The court fee for filing a petition for divorce is €100, or €50 if filed electronically. Proceedings regarding parental rights and duties toward minor children are statutorily exempt from court fees. Attorney’s fees are calculated separately from these court charges.
As a general benchmark, legal fees for a divorce without minor children typically range between €400 and €1000. This estimate covers the initial consultation, drafting and filing of the divorce petition, and client representation at one court hearing. The final remuneration depends on the specific circumstances of each case and is always agreed upon in advance, transparently, and without hidden fees.
