At Sánchez Solicitors, we are divorce lawyers in Spain with experience in both domestic and international proceedings. We advise private individuals and foreign clients who need to handle their separation under Spanish law, protecting their interests and those of their families at all times.
Sánchez Solicitors specializes in international divorce, serving foreign clients residing in Spain or those with cross-border marital ties. In such cases, determining the applicable law under private international law is essential, as it can decisively influence the outcome of the proceedings.
We offer comprehensive services in both English and Spanish for clients seeking a divorce lawyer in Spain with experience in international proceedings.

If you are considering initiating a divorce in Spain, please contact our team. We will analyze your case, inform you of the available options, and guide you through every stage of the process with rigor and dedication.

No. Either spouse may request it unilaterally. In that case, the proceedings are contested, and the judge establishes the measures by means of a court ruling.
It depends on the matrimonial property regime. Under the community property regime, assets acquired during the marriage are divided equally. Under the separation of property regime, each spouse retains their own assets.
It varies depending on the type and complexity of the case. At Sánchez Solicitors, we provide information on fees from the very first consultation, with no obligation.
