Family law attorney Antwerp
Peterfreund & Associates has specialized in family law matters in Antwerp and the surrounding area for more than 20 years. Personal and family law is a multi-faceted area of law that deals with legal issues within family relationships, such as marriage, divorce, child support, child custody, guardianship, inheritance and more.
There are many different types of issues within family law. However, they all have one thing in common: they are personal issues involving many emotions. We understand this like no other and find it important to offer you a listening ear.
How a family law attorney helps you
A lawyer in personal and family law deals with family relations and powers of persons. Examples include:
- Ancestry: Receiving a new life always brings joyous news. But even in that joy, complex questions can arise, for parents, both mothers and fathers, and sometimes later in life for the child itself. How can I legally acknowledge a child? Is it possible to legally contest paternity? What are the options for adoption? And are there deadlines for these processes to take place? With us, you will find a legal partner who not only has expertise in the areas of parentage and adoption law, but also shows an understanding of the sensitive issues surrounding the legal bond between parents and children.
- Divorce and legal separation: When a marriage needs to be dissolved, family law comes into play. This includes arranging alimony, division of assets and care of any children.
- Parental custody and guardianship: In disputes over the upbringing of children, such as parental custody and guardianship, family law can provide advice and assistance to reach an appropriate resolution.
- Inheritance law and wills: Settling estates and wills is also part of family law. This includes distribution of assets after death and drafting legally valid wills.
We support you in:
- Divorce
- Inheritances
- Alimony
- Pedigree

Rather mediation than litigation
A family law attorney not only provides legal assistance, but also acts as a family mediator to resolve disputes and reach an agreement out of court if possible.
Family issues always involve several people and therefore have a great emotional impact. Mediation is often a good solution for this.
With our extensive knowledge and experience, we can provide you with expert advice and help you achieve the best possible outcome for your situation, without automatically having to go to court to do so.
Cost of a family law attorney
We believe it is important to be honest and transparent about the costs for an attorney in family law matters. These often consist of three elements:
- Attorney’s fees
- Court costs and expenses
- Honor Roll
More about costs can be found in detail on our costs page.
