A lawyer is not mandatory for Swiss divorce, but is recommended in most cases. A lawyer can help classify complex facts legally and explain your rights and options. This gives you sound basic knowledge and realistic expectations when negotiating a divorce agreement.
It also reduces the risk of being taken advantage of by your partner, since consent to a settlement can later be reversed only with great difficulty, if at all.
Legal advice before drafting a divorce agreement need not be disclosed to your partner. It serves to explain rights and prospects for the next steps.
We are happy to provide this advice so you can enter negotiations confidently and well informed.
