Avukat Muscat assists client in several areas of family law; such as separations, enforcement of foreign judgements, care and custody disputes, abduction cases, divorce and and domestic violence proceedings.
We provide comprehensive assistance throughout separation proceedings, i.e. from the initial mediation procedure, through to the litigation process and until final judgment. We cater for all areas from care and custody of minor children, to maintenance and division of assets. The best interests of the children are of paramount importance and we provide legal assistance for all matters related to custody and paternity.
Following the introduction of Divorce in 2011, we also assist clients in obtaining a divorce through the Maltese courts and have regularly succeeded in finalising the required procedures in relatively short periods of time. We also provide legal assistance in relation to divorces obtained outside of Malta which can be registered in Malta and recognised as valid under Maltese law.
