Specialized legal advisory in family matters with sensitivity and strategic approach. Divorce, child custody, alimony, common-law marriage, adoption, and family mediation — comprehensive legal protection for your family.
Family law governs the relationships between persons linked by kinship, marriage, or common-law marriage. Family matters require not only technical expertise but sensitivity and a humanized approach. As a specialist in family law, I provide comprehensive advisory in divorce, child custody, alimony, recognition of common-law marriage, adoption, and family mediation, always focused on protecting your interests and the well-being of your family.
Divorce may be consensual, when spouses agree on asset division, child custody, and alimony, or contested when there is no consensus. In consensual divorce, the process tends to be swifter and less burdensome. In contested cases, I represent clients through every stage — from the initial petition to the final judgment — defending your rights with strategy and transparency.
Shared custody is the default rule in Brazil and seeks to ensure that both parents participate actively in their children's lives. When shared custody is not appropriate, unilateral custody may be sought. The visitation schedule should be established to preserve the bond between parents and children. I advise on defining the best arrangement for each family, always prioritizing the best interests of the child or adolescent.
Alimony aims to ensure the subsistence of children or a spouse who requires support. The amount is determined based on the needs of the recipient and the ability of the payer. I handle initial establishment, modification, discharge, and enforcement of alimony, ensuring that amounts are appropriate and duly paid.
Common-law marriage is recognized when there is a public, continuous, and lasting cohabitation between two persons with the intent to establish a family. Recognition may be done by public deed or judicially and generates succession, pension, and property rights. I advise on formalizing common-law marriage and defending the rights arising from this relationship.
The adoption process involves specific stages, including qualification before the family court and the period of foster care. I represent clients in domestic and international adoptions, guiding them through each phase of the procedure and ensuring compliance with legal requirements for the establishment of the family bond.
Family mediation is an alternative to litigation that allows the parties, with the assistance of a neutral mediator, to reach agreements on divorce, custody, support, and asset division. The process is faster, less costly, and preserves dialogue within the family. I recommend mediation whenever there is openness to negotiation, reducing conflict and emotional strain.
