PHILIP

PHILIP offers consultancy at the very highest level within this legal area, including in relation to conduct of separation and divorce cases, custody and visitation cases as well as drawing up of wills and probate cases.

We participate in settlement negotiations in relation to children's residence and visitation, which often end up with a peaceful solution that is to the benefit of all parties. In that connection, we can draw up visitation agreements for the parents' sharing of visitation after separation/divorce. In case of lacking settlement, the law firm's lawyers represent the clients in court cases.

Consultancy and assistance in relation to the parties' property in connection with entering into or ending of a marriage constitute a very significant part of our work. Thus, we have significant experience drawing up prenuptial agreements adapted to the specific needs of the individual client.

In relation to unmarried cohabitants, we draw up cohabitation contracts and extended cohabitant wills.

For married couples as well as cohabiting couples, we can provide consultancy in relation to tax conditions.

Termination of community property constitutes a large part of our work in connection with divorces and separations. We advise about the conditions and circumstances of separation and divorce and draw up agreements on property division.

We also provide consultancy within Danish international family law. The growing globalisation has affected family law , as more and more marriages are ended across borders. Therefore, these cases are subject to foreign legislation. Thus, detailed knowledge of international conventions is of vital importance in several cases - in relation to the planning of the marriage as well as a possible ending of the marriage. Furthermore, knowledge of international rules and foreign legal matters also plays an important role in connection with consultancy of families planning to move away from Denmark for a short or a long period of time. In connection with these types of cases, Philip benefits significantly by the membership in the international network of law firms, The International Alliance of Law Firms, which ensures quick and reliable advice about foreign legislation.

Several of the law firm's lawyers teach and publish articles and books within this legal area.
