Solicitor for Family Law in Sliema

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?

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.

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 in Malta have decided we want to get divorced, and we’re on relatively amicable terms about it. I’ve heard something about having to attend mediation first before actually filing anything with the court. Is this genuinely mandatory, or can we skip straight to divorce proceedings?

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 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 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?
