Family & Inheritance Law
family law
Family law regulates the legal relationships between family members, especially in the areas of marriage, divorce, alimony, custody, adoption and naming rights. All legal aspects of marriage are covered, including the formation of marriage contracts, the marriage ceremony and the dissolution of marriage. Childhood law includes descent, custody and maintenance. It regulates the support of spouses and children as well as parental responsibility for children.
Kanzlei kindel-law supports you in all stages of a family situation. We draw up marriage contracts for you in order to settle your property matters in advance without any worries. We advise and represent you in enforcing your legal claims in relation to your children, e.g. child support, custody and contact rights.
We offer you our legal expertise both in the collection and challenge of temporary injunctions (as a result of physical or psychological violence) and in cases of expulsion. In addition, we will help you with the dissolution of your marriage in cases of nullity of marriage, annulment of marriage and divorce. In family law matters, we take particular care to provide personal and emphatic advice.
divorce law
Divorce law deals with the dissolution of marriages. It regulates the legal aspects of a divorce, including the division of joint property, determination of maintenance payments and custody of joint children. In Austria, a distinction is made between consensual and contentious divorce. In the event of an amicable divorce, our law firm will clarify all possible legal consequences for you and advise you on reaching an agreement on property law and family law matters.
We will also represent you in divorce due to the dissolution of the domestic community as well as in the case of a fault-based divorce (e.g. due to adultery, violence or a breach of marital obligations). In the case of divorce, child custody and the division of assets are the focus. We provide you with legal support in enforcing claims relating to custody or contact rights (visiting rights), child support, spousal support and the division of assets.
inheritance law
Inheritance law regulates the legal succession to the assets of a deceased person. Heirs are determined either through the legal succession (spouse, children, grandchildren, etc.) or through a testamentary disposition (testament, contract of inheritance).
The law firm kindel-law will help you to draw up, interpret, revoke and challenge wills, contracts of inheritance or contracts of donation upon death.
In addition, we help you to enforce compulsory portion (supplementary) claims, spousal inheritance law and offsetting against the inheritance. We will also draw up powers of attorney for you so that you can appoint a representative of your choice in advance in the event of loss of legal capacity.
good to know
The law firm kindel-law supports you in all phases of marital status, from starting a family to ending it. Due to the emotionality that is often behind family disputes, mediation can be a useful alternative to court proceedings. As a registered mediator at the BMJ, Prof. Dieter G. Kindel can support you as a neutral mediator in developing a solution that is satisfactory for all parties involved. More about mediation
