Solicitor for Family Law in Floriana

My son and his wife separated in Malta, and since then, my access to my grandchildren has been severely restricted by their mother, despite having had a close relationship with them beforehand. Do grandparents actually have any legal standing in Malta to request formal access rights, or is this purely something only parents can seek?

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’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?

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?

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.

I have a child with my former partner in Malta, but we were never married. Now that we’ve separated, I’m concerned about what legal rights I actually have as the father regarding custody, access, and involvement in decisions about our child, given we don’t have the same married status.

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 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?
