Solicitor for Family Law in Attard

I’ve separated from my child’s other parent in Malta and I would like to change our child’s surname, mainly to reflect our new family situation. Can I do this on my own as the parent they primarily live with, or does the other parent need to agree?

I separated from my child’s other parent in Malta and I’ve now been offered a great job opportunity abroad. I’d like to relocate with our child, but my ex is strongly opposed. Can I just make this decision myself since I have primary care, or do I need their agreement or court approval?

My spouse and I are separating in Malta and we have one child together. I want to understand roughly how child maintenance payments are actually calculated here, since we haven’t been able to agree on a figure ourselves and I want to know what a court might consider reasonable.

My spouse and I in Malta are going through a divorce and I want to understand, in general terms, how property we’ve accumulated during the marriage is typically divided under Maltese law, since we didn’t sign any specific marriage contract beforehand regarding our finances.

My partner and I in Malta have been living together for several years without getting married, and we’re considering formalising some aspects of our financial arrangement through a written agreement between ourselves. Does Maltese law actually recognise or enforce this kind of cohabitation agreement, given we’re not married?

My child currently attends a private school in Malta, an arrangement we agreed on together while still married, but since our separation, my ex is refusing to contribute anything toward the fees, saying our child could just attend a state school instead. Can I legally require them to continue contributing to the private school costs?

My ex and I separated in Malta and share custody of our child, but they’ve already introduced our child to a new romantic partner very quickly, which I feel is inappropriate this early on. Do I have any legal ability to restrict or influence this kind of decision, or is it entirely up to them during their own custody time?

I started and built a business entirely on my own during our marriage in Malta, my spouse had no involvement whatsoever in running or growing it. Now that we’re separating, I’m worried they’ll claim half of it simply because we were married while I built it. Is that actually how it would work under Maltese law?
