Family law
The norms of the Civil Code establish general principles of legal regulation of family relations and regulate the grounds and procedure of marriage registration, its validity and dissolution, property and personal non-property rights of spouses, determination of the origin of children, rights and duties of children and parents and other family members, and general provisions of the procedure of adoption, guardianship and care, and civil registration. Since legislation in this area cannot be fully regulated, it is established that when exercising family rights and performing family responsibilities, individuals must abide by the law, respect the rules of living together, the moral principles and act in good faith. However, not all individuals follow these responsibilities, and they are not always able to live comfortably and peacefully. Therefore, our lawyers can:

Debtor administration
Obligation is a legal relationship, of which one party (the debtor) is required to perform an action for the benefit of another party (the creditor) or refrain from performing such action, and the creditor has the right to require the debtor to fulfill his/her obligation. Obligations arise from transactions or other legal facts that, as per applicable laws, cause a binding relationship. The law establishes a general obligation for creditor and debtor to act in good faith, reasonably and fairly, both at the time when obligation arises and in its existence and during its execution or expiration, yet such obligation is often ignored by debtor. Therefore, our lawyers offer the following services:
- Pre-trial debt recovery and mediation (when attempting to agree with debtor on the terms of debt repayment);
- Judicial recovery of debts where it is impossible to reach an agreement with debtor and turning to the court is the only option;
- When debtor dies (in the case of a natural person) or is liquidated (in the case of a legal entity), and the debt is outstanding, we assist creditor in recovering the debt in the context of succession or bankruptcy administration procedures.
