Spanish family law combines civil and constitutional principles. Marriage and family matters are generally governed by the Civil Code of 1889, although local family laws may apply in some regions. Family lawyers play a vital role in guiding clients through these complex matters and providing representation in court.

Family disputes are inherently complex, and navigating Spanish family law without expert guidance can be challenging. Spanish law provides three main regimes of spousal property: Common joint ownership (sociedad de gananciales), Separate ownership (separación de bienes), Participation in profits (participación en las ganancias). Additionally, there is a legal regime for separation without divorce (separación).

Our lawyers offer legal assistance in both national and international family disputes, particularly those involving foreign elements, such as spouses of different nationalities, spouses residing in different countries, property located abroad, or marriages registered in one country while spouses live permanently in another.
