Family law covers the most significant aspects of our personal lives: marriage and divorce, property relations between spouses, parent-child relationships, guardianship, and custody matters.
The well-being of every family depends on the correct resolution of these issues, which is why it’s crucial to approach them responsibly. In Estonia, family-related matters are primarily regulated by the Family Law Act, aimed at protecting the rights and interests of all family members.

Main Service Areas
Family matters often require a sensitive approach and a deep understanding of legal nuances. Our lawyers help you manage any situation involving marriage, children, and property disputes. We offer a comprehensive range of family law services. Our main service areas include:
- Divorce: consultations, document preparation, court representation in divorce cases. If both spouses agree, a divorce can be formalized at the civil registry office or through a notary. However, if one spouse opposes, obstructs the process, or disputes arise regarding children or property, the matter is settled in court.
- Division of Joint Marital Property: determination of shares, assistance in concluding property division agreements, or court proceedings if disputes arise. By law, all property acquired during the marriage is considered joint property and is divided equally upon divorce. In practice, property division often requires legal support to consider all nuances and protect the client’s interests.
- Child Support Claims: calculation and determination of child support amounts, preparation of agreements or lawsuits for child support payments. The law allows claiming support not only from parents but also from grandparents if parents cannot provide for their child. Lawyers assist in determining a reasonable support amount and achieving its recovery through court proceedings.
- Child Custody (Determining Child Residence and Visitation): resolving disputes regarding with whom the child will reside after parental separation and establishing visitation schedules with the other parent. Legal assistance ensures that the interests of the child and both parents are considered, achieving a fair decision that aligns with the child’s best interests.
- Establishing and Contesting Paternity, Termination/Restoration of Parental Rights: legal assistance in matters concerning parental status – paternity acknowledgment, contesting parentage records, termination of parental rights of irresponsible parents, and restoration of rights if circumstances change. Support includes consultations, document preparation, and court representation.
- Court Permission for Foreigners to Marry in Estonia: consultations, preparation of applications, and court representation to obtain permission for marriage by a foreign citizen. Such judicial permission is required if the foreigner’s home country does not issue the necessary certificate of marital capacity. Under Estonian law, the foreigner may petition the Estonian court to marry without this certificate. Legal support ensures proper document submission to the district court where the marriage will be registered and successfully obtaining a decision allowing marriage registration in Estonia.
- Consent for a Child to Travel Abroad: consultations and assistance in preparing parental consent for a minor child’s travel abroad. Such consent is usually required if the child travels without one parent or is accompanied by a third party. Legal assistance includes preparing the consent document in the necessary language, notarization, and obtaining an apostille if required for recognition abroad.
