Family law touches on the most personal aspects of life. Relationship breakdown, questions concerning children, organisation of family assets: these situations call for a lawyer who can combine legal rigour with genuine human understanding.
Divorce and separation
Maître Toorawa assists you through all divorce proceedings: divorce by mutual consent (without a judge since the 2017 reform), divorce on grounds of fault, irretrievable breakdown of marriage, or acceptance of the principle of the breakdown of the marriage.
The aim is to defend your interests whilst preserving, as far as possible, a constructive dialogue — particularly where children are involved.
Children and parental authority
Decisions concerning children — residence arrangements, custody arrangements, contact and visiting rights, maintenance contributions — are those with the greatest long-term impact. Maître Toorawa represents you in obtaining or varying arrangements that serve your children’s best interests and respect your parental rights.
Matrimonial property
Separation is often accompanied by the dissolution of the matrimonial property regime, which can be complex: jointly owned property, a business, savings. The firm advises and represents you in an amicable or judicial partition, protecting your financial interests throughout.
