Family Law
and Inheritance

Delicate resolution of divorce proceedings, division of business assets and inheritance structuring for high-net-worth clients in Moldova.

Focus

When we get involved

Private capital requires special protection. Clients turn to us when family problems threaten personal well-being or company operations.

Threat of divorce and business division

A spouse initiates divorce proceedings and claims a share of the business, accounts, and real estate. The goal is to shield business assets from bad-faith division.

International family dispute

Spouses are citizens of different countries, own property in multiple jurisdictions, or a parent has illegally taken a child abroad (Hague Convention).

Child custody and alimony disputes

The need to determine the child's residence, visitation schedule, or collect real alimony hidden behind an "official" salary.

Complex inheritance proceedings

Heirs enter into conflict over corporate rights, foreign accounts, and real estate. The process must be structured to avoid halting the business.

Our family law expertise

We translate emotional conflicts into legal terms, protecting your interests, reputation, and peace of mind.

Divorce Proceedings

When the divorce needs to be handled without chaos, exposure, or losing leverage.

Full management of the divorce process, both amicably (through notary/Civil Registry) and in hard-fought court battles.

Spousal property division

When the dispute already concerns shares, accounts, real estate, or digital assets.

Fair assessment and division of marital property. Protection of company shares (SRL), securities, digital assets, and real estate from community property regime.

Prenuptial agreements

When the property regime should be fixed before the conflict, not after it.

Drafting individual prenuptial contracts before or during marriage. Establishing a separate property regime to minimize risks.

Children's rights and custody

When a child dispute needs a calm but firm legal framework.

Legal support in disputes over children's residence, communication schedules, termination of parental rights, and paternity establishment.

Estate planning

When the transfer of assets and business to heirs should be prepared in advance.

Drafting complex wills, creating business transfer mechanisms. Litigation: challenging wills, recognition of ownership rights through inheritance.

Hague Convention procedures

When a child has been taken abroad or the dispute moves into another jurisdiction.

Emergency measures for the return of unlawfully relocated children (Child Abduction) and recognition of foreign court decisions (Exequatur).

Our approach to family disputes

Confidentiality, cool-headed strategy, and minimizing publicity are the three pillars of our work. We aim for settlement but are always ready for court.

Assessment and strategy

Analysis of the family asset structure. Determining real chances in court and forming a roadmap.

Asset protection (Asset Tracing)

Searching for hidden accounts, real estate, and transferred property of the dishonest spouse. Imposing preventive seizures.

Pre-trial negotiations

Preparing a settlement agreement draft. Moderating negotiations between spouses with lawyers, excluding emotional pressure.

Notarial formalization

Legally impeccable recording of voluntary agreements at the notary (divorce, alimony). The process is fast and non-public.

Court representation

If no compromise is reached — aggressive defense in court. The client does not need to attend hearings personally.

Judgment enforcement

Working with bailiffs for actual collection of alimony, debts, and transfer of awarded property.

Examples from practice

For ethical reasons, we disclose only the general essence of cases without naming individuals or exact amounts.

Protecting a business from division in divorce

The client's wife filed for division of 50% of the share in a successfully growing company, claiming it was founded during the marriage.

Result:
We proved that the share capital was formed from the client's personal premarital funds. The court recognized the share as personal property.
What we did

We fixed the ownership structure, gathered proof of the personal nature of the investments, and removed the risk of freezing operational assets.

Return of an illegally relocated child from EU

The father took the child on vacation to an EU country and refused to return them, violating the Hague Convention.

Result:
Together with foreign colleagues, we initiated proceedings. The court ordered the immediate return of the child.
What we did

We assembled the international procedural track quickly, coordinated foreign counsel, and launched the return process.

Settlement in a complex property division

Dispute over division of three premium real estate properties, accounts, and a vehicle fleet. A standard trial would have taken 3-5 years.

Result:
Through negotiations, the parties signed a comprehensive property division agreement, saving time and money.
What we did

We moved the conflict into negotiation, mapped the assets, and brought the parties to a workable agreement without a prolonged trial.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what is usually worth clarifying before the first consultation.

When is it better to involve family counsel before the conflict rather than in the middle of the dispute?

When the risk of divorce, a child dispute, property division, or an inheritance conflict is already visible. Early work allows documents to be assembled calmly, the asset structure to be understood, and decisions to be made without emotional pressure.

Can property division be resolved without a long court battle?

In many cases yes, if the assets, the parties' real positions, and the legal constraints are understood in advance. Our task is to turn an emotional conflict into a controlled negotiation scenario and preserve what truly matters to the client.

What should be prepared for the first consultation on divorce or inheritance?

Usually a short timeline, the marriage or inheritance documents, a list of assets, and a basic understanding of where the key assets and documents are located are enough. If the picture is incomplete, work can still begin; the main goal is to define risks and priorities first.
