How we can help

At Diario de un Abogado we support fathers at every stage of a family case. If you are facing any of these, get in touch. We can help.

If you have been called to give a statement, or you are at the police station or in court over something connected with your separation, what you say — and how you say it — in those first hours can shape everything that follows. Do not give a statement without advice: contact us before that first appearance.

Tell us what happened

Even today, many fathers feel they enter the custody negotiation a step behind simply for being the father. If you want to stay genuinely present in your children’s daily life — not just alternate weekends — we help you build a solid case, on facts and arguments, for real shared custody.

Tell us what happened

Being reported in the middle of a separation is brutal, whether the complaint concerns real events that have to be dealt with seriously or you believe it stems from a badly handled breakdown. Either way you are entitled to a rigorous defence, to have every fact examined closely, and to have your account heard with the safeguards the law requires.

Tell us what happened

When a separation breaks down completely and both sides end up reporting each other, it is easy to lose track across separate proceedings and not see how each one bears on the rest — custody, contact, assets. We help you bring order to it and build a defence that holds together across every front at once.

Tell us what happened

Feeling that whatever happens there is always a fresh excuse for you not to see your children is exhausting and deeply painful. There are legal tools for when contact is blocked repeatedly and without justification, and we help you use them.

Tell us what happened

What was agreed when you separated may bear no relation to your life now: a move, a new job, your children’s changing needs. If the terms no longer feel fair or realistic, we help you apply to have them reviewed.

Tell us what happened

A maintenance figure that no longer matches your income — after a change of job, a pay cut or any other change — can become an impossible burden if nobody reviews it. We help you seek a fair variation without stepping back from your responsibility to your children.

Tell us what happened

Whether you want your paternity legally recognised or you have well-founded doubts about a paternity attributed to you, this is one of the most delicate processes there is, personally and legally. We handle it with the discretion and rigour you need to get clarity.

Tell us what happened

Constant obstacles to contact, plans changed without warning, the children used as leverage — it leaves you powerless, especially when the system does not react as quickly as it should. We help you enforce what was agreed and, where needed, strengthen it through the court.

Tell us what happened

Which situation are you in?

A complaint filed during a divorce shapes the interim measures from day one. We run the criminal defence and the family strategy together, because what is said in one courtroom carries weight in the other.
