Divorce and Marriage Contract Lawyer in Split
Legal Support for Divorce, Prenuptial Agreements, and Property Matters in Marriage
We help spouses achieve a mutual divorce with minimal stress and cost. Our lawyers prepare the necessary documentation and guide you through the entire process to ensure a quick and peaceful resolution to the marriage. It is important to note that along with the request for a mutual divorce, you must also submit the original marriage certificate and the original birth certificate of any minor child (if applicable).
In the event that one spouse withdraws from the request for a mutual divorce, while the other remains committed, the request will be considered a divorce lawsuit, and the procedure will continue according to the rules governing divorce by lawsuit. The request is submitted to the municipal
court that has jurisdiction over the area where the spouses had their last joint residence.
Divorce Lawsuit
A divorce lawsuit is initiated when spouses cannot agree on the terms of the divorce or when one spouse no longer wishes to remain in the marriage. In this case, one spouse files the divorce lawsuit against the other, and the process takes place before the municipal court that has jurisdiction based on the location of the spouses’ last shared residence.
What does a divorce lawsuit include?
A divorce lawsuit includes a request to terminate the marital union and may also cover claims regarding the division of property, custody of children, alimony, and visitation rights. When the lawsuit is filed, the court will initially attempt to mediate a peaceful resolution between the spouses.
If mediation fails, the court will issue a divorce judgment based on the evidence and legal regulations.
Divorce lawsuit process:
- Filing the lawsuit – One spouse files the lawsuit with the municipal court, along with relevant documents such as the marriage certificate, proof of property ownership, and proof of income,
especially if claims for alimony or property division are included. - Mediation (if applicable) – The court may order mediation to allow the spouses to reach an agreement before a formal court proceeding.
- Court proceedings – If mediation is unsuccessful, the case proceeds to court, where both sides present their arguments.
- Judgment – The court issues a ruling on the divorce and any related matters such as property division, child custody, and alimony.

Marriage and Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement is signed before the marriage and governs property relations that will be in effect during the marriage and after a possible divorce. This agreement protects each spouse’s assets, clearly defines liability for debts, and can simplify the divorce process.
A marriage agreement can be entered into during the marriage, allowing spouses to regulate their property relations according to their changing needs and circumstances. This agreement can include the division of joint property, inheritance planning, and legal protection in the event of debts.
Our legal team provides expert advice and assistance in drafting marriage and prenuptial agreements to ensure that your rights and assets are protected according to applicable laws.
