Divorce with common children is inevitably accompanied by a dispute associated with them.

  • birth certificates of children
  • divorce certificates
  • documents confirming that you have sufficient financial capabilities to raise a child
  • characteristics on you from neighbours and from work,
  • information about your place of residence and normal living conditions for the child
  • occasionally a psychologist's advice is required.
The distance of the child's intended place of residence to the school or kindergarten, section, proximity to a medical institution will also be important for the court.
It can take a long time to collect all the necessary documents, but it will help you a positive outcome of the litigation for you.
