Family law
Family law consists of a wide range of regulations, which give the state the right to interfere in the individual’s privacy and his family relations.
Family law regulates different family relationships e.g. the status of children, of spouse or unmarried partner, raising of children and financial support, extension of parental rights etc.
The lawyer will provide you with legal assistance in many areas of family law in particular in the area of financial obligations of parents, spouses, etc.
Legal assistance will also be given regarding foster care, adoption procedures and other parent/child relationships.
Slovenia as a member of EU is commited to comply with a number of international documents that protect the rights of children, especially minors.
The client will be given legal assistance and representation in divorce proceedings, property division, child custody and visitation, alimony proceedings etc. 
The lawyer will also prepare legal documentation for an amicable divorce(divorce agreement), agreement on the custody of children and alimony.
In case an amicable agreement concerning divorce cannot be reached, a law suit for separation may be filled in court.
Divorce is often a difficult but important step for an individual, therefore the lawyer is there to provide you with all the legal help you need.
In Slovenia, we have two general types of divorce - amicable (with consent) and non-amicable (without consent of the partners. If the partners consent, have no joint assets (or have reached an agreement about that) and there are no children (minors), the procedure can be faster and cheaper.
If there is no consent, there is a question of alimony, younger children, etc, then a longer procedure will have to take place, starting with a lawsuit. Slovenia is a no-fault state, so you do not have to have a specific reason, apart from that you have reached your determined mind that you no longer want to be married.
A special procedure can be started if the partners were in civil union (not married) and one party want (or needs) a court decision regarding alimony, custody, visitation rights.
Custody and visitations rights are a bit specificly regulated in Slovenia. Joint or split custody is an exception (only when parties can reach an agreement). Normally one parent would get custody, the other would get a fair amount of visitation rights and the obligation to pay alimony. Parents (no matter what the custody issue is resolved) should and must decide about the change of place of living, change of name and other major issues in children upbringing. Should the parents fail to reach consensus, center for social services can assist - if even that fails, the court will decide upon receiving the petition.
All procedures can be short or long, expensive or cheap, all depending on what the parties inflict on each other. Special experts, request, etc, all take a lot of time, money and stress.
Parties are recommended not to take part in the procedure without a lawyer, especially if they do not speak the slovene language and/or have no legal expertise. A court translator can also me mandatory. Consider having a preemptive meeting at the law office to make some sense about the matter and to inform yourself about your rights, should a divorce or custody procedure be started.
