Family law and matrimonial regimes

Our Private Client team advises and represents Monaco-based and international clients in both advisory and contentious matters, across several areas of expertise.

CMS Monaco's offering in Family Law

With globalisation, family relationships are becoming increasingly international in nature, which is impacting family law as a whole and more specifically the matrimonial property regimes that govern the financial relationship between spouses and also between life partners for some foreign residents. These issues are particularly common in the Principality of Monaco, which now has a large and highly mobile foreign population.

We specialise in the following areas:


Contentious and non-contentious divorce


Legal separation


Establishment and challenge of paternity


Pre and post-nuptial agreements


Variation and division of matrimonial property regimes


Recognition of foreign matrimonial agreements in Monaco


Adoption


Cohabitation agreements


We work in close collaboration with our network of associated firms in over 40 countries to meet our clients' needs for a cross-border assistance.
