Divorce Lawyer in Velez-Malaga
Matrimonial Lawyers expert in Divorces
Divorce is a complicated and painful situation for any couple.
In many cases, emotions can cloud judgment and make important decisions difficult to make.
If you are considering divorce, it is important to know that an attorney can help you navigate this complex process, seeking the best solution for all parties and making sure your rights are protected.
Mutual agreement or contentious
The best solution is always an agreement. If it is not reached and things get complicated, a judge will come into play.
Custody of the children
When the children are minors, it is necessary to think about them and establish, for example, the periods and places they will spend with each parent.
Alimony
Depending on the custody regime of the parents, it will be necessary to establish a fair amount of maintenance and other expenses.
Other issues
That may arise in the process, such as the termination of the community property regime or modifications of the initial resolution.
How a matrimonial lawyer can help you with your separation
Firstly, by explaining your legal options to you, i.e. helping you to make informed decisions.
In addition, he or she can negotiate fair and equitable divorce settlements, so that your rights are always protected.
Finally, he or she will help you prepare the necessary paperwork and file it with the court, if there are children involved, or with the notary, if there are no children involved.
What you need to know about divorce proceedings
To start the divorce process, you will need to provide certain documentation:
- Marriage and birth certificates.
- Financial information.
- Details of shared property and debts.
It is also important to be aware of the timelines and potential problems that may arise during the divorce process, which vary from case to case.
A divorce lawyer can help you understand these details and prepare you for any eventualities that may arise.
The best divorce lawyers in Velez-Malaga?
It is not for us to say, we prefer to let our clients speak for us. In any case, what we are sure of is that we are among the best law firms in Axarquia.
Why are we so sure? Because of the method we use, which is somewhat different from the usual.
Let us explain it to you:

Then we will study your case and the different ways of dealing with it.
Finally, we will consult between lawyers. And this point is the differential.
There will always, always and always be at least two of us lawyers who will review your case, your documentation and who will prepare the whole procedure.

Depending on what is involved, we will try to choose the most experienced and knowledgeable partner to review and complete any documents and paperwork you need.
This is the system that has worked for us in all types of cases, including of course divorce cases – agreed or contentious – and which has made us a reference in the sector in Malaga.
Finally, we would like to add that we know the peculiarities and procedures of the Family Courts in our province, which facilitates and speeds up all the procedures.
If you are considering the best options to consider your separation:
Doubts you may have
How long does the divorce process take?
The length of time is variable, as it depends a lot on the type of divorce and what you have in common.
An uncontested divorce without children can take 3-6 months, while a contentious divorce with children and provisional measures can take up to 2 years, depending on the court.
The liquidation of community property proceedings, if they are contentious, can take up to 5-6 years, depending on the assets in dispute.
What is the cost of the procedure?
Again, this is a difficult question.
In the best case, it can cost between €800 and €1,200 in total, including lawyer and solicitor.
In the case of a contentious divorce with children and several hearings, the cost for each party will be between €2,000 and €3,000.
What are the most common rulings in the event of a judge’s intervention?
In Spain, the preferred regime in the courts is that of shared custody for periods of one or two weeks with each parent living at home, provided that both parties have a suitable home and the necessary time.
In this case, the costs will be borne in full by each parent and no maintenance is usually fixed, unless there is a significant difference between the parents’ incomes.
The parent who is awarded the use of the family home will normally be responsible for the expenses of the family home, which up to that point were paid on a 50/50 basis.
What is the liquidation of community property?
In this procedure, each party is awarded part of the assets and debts that were acquired during the marriage and are no longer common.
It can be done in the same agreement, but it is usually done later, in another procedure, as there are properties and mortgage loans that cannot be cancelled at that time.
If no agreement can be reached, the procedure will be very long and costly, as it will end with the auction of the assets and the attribution of the debts by the judge, after the inventory, valuation and adjudication phases, which are in themselves separate court proceedings.
Who is the BARRISTER?
This is the other professional whose intervention is compulsory in this type of proceedings. According to the definition given by the Consejo General de Procuradores de España, the BARRISTER is the procedural representative of the litigants. What does this mean? It means that BARRISTERS are in charge of:
- Follow the process, be aware of all the steps and keep the client and his lawyer informed.
- They are responsible for all the formalities: they receive and sign the summons, summons, notifications, etc.; they attend all the necessary proceedings and acts of the lawsuit. All this in representation of and on behalf of the client.
- Transmit to the lawyer all documents and instructions that come into his hands.
- Pay the expenses that are generated at the request of the client and give a documented account of them.

Lo que más valoro de Fernando es su capacidad de empatizar, entender el problema que se le plantea, analizarlo y darte las mejores alternativas, de una forma práctica y sencilla, es algo que grandes bufetes no te dan, tal dedicación y cercanía.

Tenía un problema serio y complicado en relación a un inmueble, el abogado al que había acudido otras veces no supo como abordarlo y fue dilatándolo hasta que casi pierdo el control de la situación. Recurrí a Fernando y la experiencia fue muy distinta. Desde el momento en que me senté a hablar con él me invadió la tranquilidad (además la primera consulta fue gratis). Me propuso una gran variedad de opciones más de las que se me habían planteado en meses. Lo que parecía un caso perdido terminó por ser todo un éxito. Fernando es un gran profesional con una cercanía que lo convierte en único en su sector. Sin duda volveré cuando me surja cualquier imprevisto o duda legal. Muy recomendable.

I had a really positive experience with this firm. From the very first contact, they were incredibly responsive, professional and easy to communicate with. What stood out most was how kind and approachable they were. They took the time to respond clearly and made everything feel straightforward and stress-free, which I really appreciated. Even without needing to proceed further, I felt well looked after and would definitely return to them in the future if I needed legal assistance. Highly recommended.
