Advice before marriage, property law, divorce, maintenance

Advice on family law before marriage, because marriage is a long mountain climb with ups and downs. And you want to get to your destination or end point together, but at least unharmed. Marriage is still the best way to embark on a life journey together. You don't go up a mountain without provisions and without rain protection.

Before marriage: German or Italian family law

LAVVIT specialises in international family law and advises bi-national, in particular German-Italian couples, before marriage on questions of German marriage law and the German property regime - but also on Italian marriage law and the Italian property regime.

When getting married, the couple enters into a bond – ideally for life. The advantages are obvious: a joint property regime regarding assets, inheritance privileges, joint pension entitlements, automatic joint custody at the birth of children, etc. LAVVIT advises its clients on the consequences of marriage and on inheritance law.

Marital property law and marriage contract

For wealthy couples or entrepreneurs in particular, the question of the marital property regime arises: separation of property or community of property? LAVVIT generally advises the legal form: the community of gains. This is a separation of property in which, in the event of inheritance or divorce, the increase in assets of both partners (gain) is divided between the spouses.
