Getting a divorce in Lisbon

 
Foreigners who want to divorce and are in Portugal can do so if they talk to a lawyer first. If the separation is by mutual agreement, then the division of property and custody of the children will take place. Mutual agreement divorce is the most popular process in order to dissolve a marriage, but if things get complicated, then the separation will be done in court. In order to prevent any problems, it is better to discuss with our lawyer in Lisbon, to see what are the steps to follow in this approach.
 

Custody in Portugal

 
Custody of minor children comes into play when parents divorce. Normally, children remain in the mother's care, without changing the environment in which they grew up. In this situation, the father is the one who has to pay alimony to the little ones and make sure that they will have an education, a good upbringing, and everything that is needed to grow in optimal conditions.
 
Custody can be complicated if parents do not agree on visiting hours, joint activities, and other issues. Therefore, we invite you to talk to our lawyers in Lisbon and familiarize yourself with the law in this case.
 

How to buy a property in Lisbon

 
Foreigners can easily purchase a property in Portugal, as long as they consider the formalities involved.

We mention that our lawyers in Lisbon are at your disposal if you want to buy a house in this city or in any other and they will make sure that the whole process follows the legal procedures.
 

Debt collection

 
Companies that can no longer pay their suppliers or other financial obligations may at some point have to go through the debt collection process. This procedure involves in the first phase an amicable settlement, in which the new terms for the respective payments are discussed. New data and the scheduling of arrears can be decided. However, if the new terms are not respected either, then the case goes to court. If you are facing issues like this, feel free to talk to our debt collection lawyers in Lisbon.
