The contrary can be the case, by managing the expectations of a client in financial matters a realistic settlement can be reached which prevents the need to litigate and go to court in a contentious proceeding. Equally a person in a weaker position <strong>can have their fears allayed and be protected by their lawyer.<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">The same applies in <strong>child custody and visits agreements<\/strong>. It is far better to find a sensible solution than to hand the decision to a Judge in court. It is true that a Judge will act in the best interests of the child but it is still preferable to reach a workable agreement with the other parent. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">In most areas of Spain the court will not order Joint custody without the agreement of both parents. The default regime is for the non-custodial parent to have every other weekend, 4 weeks in summer and alternate Christmas, Easter and birthday holidays. The lawyer who advises you can draft this into an <strong>agreement which can be approved by the court saving a lot of time and money.<\/strong> Although it is not inexpensive to take this agreement to the courts it does give the security of having a fixed and established regime bringing security to the children and the parents. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">If you have no children and there is no dispute over assets an agreement to divorce can be reached and a Deed signed before a notary. This <strong>reduces costs and provides a binding divorce order<\/strong> which can be registered with the Civil registry in Spain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">For more information contact us for a confidential consultation on 952 527014 or email on\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:family@decottalaw.net\"><strong>family@decottalaw.net<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know good news is heard less often and that bad news sells newspapers.
