Solicitor for Family Law in Floriana

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 spouse and I got married in Malta several years ago under the default community of acquests, but our financial circumstances have changed significantly and we’d now like to change our matrimonial property regime. Is this actually possible once you’re already married, or is that decision locked in permanently at the time of marriage?

I’m going through a separation in Malta and there has been a history of domestic violence in our relationship that I believe is relevant to how issues like custody and the overall separation should be decided. How does Maltese family law actually treat this kind of history when determining separation and custody matters?

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?

My spouse and I in Malta are getting divorced, and beyond dividing our assets, I’m concerned about how our joint debts, including a mortgage and a couple of loans, will actually be dealt with. Does the divorce process address this, or does it only cover assets?

I’m getting married in Malta soon and I have some assets I owned before the relationship that I’d like to protect in case things don’t work out. Is a prenuptial agreement actually a recognised thing under Maltese law, or does Malta not really have this concept?

My spouse and I in Malta have been living completely separately for over four years now, but they are refusing to agree to a divorce and don’t want to sign anything. Does this mean I’m simply stuck married indefinitely, or can I actually pursue a divorce without their consent?

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?
