Few areas of law touch people’s lives like family law. Divorce, support, custody, and inheritance combine a high emotional burden with technical rules that change by state \u2014 each Mexican state has its own civil or family code. Our task is twofold: protecting our client’s rights and steering the conflict toward stable solutions, favoring settlement over trial when that serves the family.<\/p>\n
Since no-fault divorce<\/strong> was adopted in Mexico City and most states, proving grounds is no longer necessary: one spouse’s will suffices. What remains complex are the effects: liquidating the marital property regime, child and spousal support, economic compensation for the spouse who ran the household, and custody and visitation arrangements. A well-negotiated comprehensive settlement avoids years of subsequent disputes.<\/p>\n Child support is set under the proportionality principle: the payer’s means and the recipient’s needs, with automatic updates. Custody is always decided under the best interests of the child<\/strong>, a constitutional (article 4) and treaty-based principle that also governs visitation. In inheritance matters, we handle both planning \u2014 wills and trusts \u2014 and probate proceedings, testate and intestate.<\/p>\n This content is informational and does not constitute legal advice.
