Family property law
Preserving relationships, protecting rights and building lasting agreements
Family property law concerns some of the most personal aspects of life and often involves decisions with significant consequences. Marriage, divorce, parental authority, maintenance between former spouses, contributions for children and division of assets all require both human understanding and a strong command of the applicable legal rules.
Pauline Goffioul guides clients with clarity, patience and firmness through both amicable and contentious proceedings. Her aim is to preserve family balance wherever possible and to safeguard the best interests of the child, while defending your interests strategically and on a sound legal basis.
How we can assist
Whatever the circumstances, every client deserves careful attention. Here are some examples of matters in which the firm can assist.
Spousal maintenance and financial contributions
Determination, review or recovery of financial contributions according to the parties’ needs and resources. This area is important in ensuring appropriate financial support following a separation.
Parental authority, residence, contact rights and child support
Determination of living arrangements and the exercise of parental responsibilities, with the best interests of the child at the centre of the analysis.
Pauline Goffioul can also assist with setting, reviewing or recovering child support contributions according to the child’s needs and the parents’ resources.
The aim is to establish arrangements that protect the child’s welfare and provide a workable legal framework for both parents.
Liquidation and division of matrimonial property
Inventory, valuation and division of assets, with a focus on reaching an agreement or, where necessary, referring the matter to court. This process is essential to ensure a fair division of matrimonial property.
Divorce on grounds of irretrievable breakdown and urgent measures
Representation in court where the spouses disagree, including applications for interim measures to protect the family and financial situation. Pauline Goffioul represents and defends your interests throughout the proceedings.
Divorce by mutual consent
Where a divorce by mutual consent involves real estate, a notarial deed may be required. Pauline Goffioul can assist throughout the amicable process conducted with the notary, including review of the agreement concerning children, housing and finances. The aim is to reduce conflict and support a respectful separation.
