Solicitor for Family Law in Floriana

My spouse and I in Malta have been living separately for about eight months already, but we’ve only just formally started separation proceedings, and I haven’t received any financial support from them since we split. Can maintenance be backdated to cover this earlier period we already spent apart?

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?

I’m considering pursuing an annulment of my marriage in Malta rather than a divorce, since I believe there were serious issues present even at the time we got married. What’s actually the difference in outcome, and what would I need to show for an annulment to succeed?

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 spouse and I in Malta are separating and we disagree about where our two children should primarily live going forward. We haven’t been able to reach an agreement between ourselves. How does the Maltese legal system actually decide something like this when the parents can’t agree?

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?

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?

My ex and I share custody of our child in Malta, and I’ve just found out they’re planning to take our child abroad on holiday without asking me first or even informing me of the travel dates. Do I have any legal right to object or block this kind of trip?
