Family Law

Tofte Hald has extensive experience in Family Law, which refers to the legal rules that affect spouses and cohabiting partners.

When entering into marriage, we assist with advice and help in contract agreements (prenuptial agreements) to establish the asset relationship between the spouses while the marriage is intact. The same applies to entering into cohabitation agreements.

In the event of a separation, many legal issues arise, whether it concerns the dissolution of marriage or cohabitation. Our lawyers have comprehensive expertise in the rules regarding financial settlement after separation and termination of cohabitation, and advise on how assets, wealth, and debts should be distributed. Some settlements are straightforward, while others can be more complex.

When it comes to relationship breakdowns, it is also important to take care of the children. We assist with questions related to the legal relationship between children and parents, including issues of parental responsibility, primary residence, and visitation after a separation.
