Individuals
In family matters legal technique counts, but so does how you are treated. Here nobody will treat your case as one more file.
Direct answer
Family law governs the personal and financial ties between family members: marriage and civil partnership, divorce, custody and visitation, child support, marital property division and succession. In Colombia, uncontested divorce can be processed before a notary within weeks; contested divorce goes to a family judge. Acerteq handles both routes.
Scope
Uncontested before a notary or contested before a family judge, with a comprehensive agreement on children and assets.
Setting, increasing, reducing and enforcing child support, and regulating visitation arrangements.
Asset inventory and valuation, allocation and protection of the estate built during the relationship.
Declaration of existence, dissolution and liquidation of the property regime between permanent partners.
Notarial or judicial process, estate partition, assignment of inheritance rights and disputes among heirs.
Protection measures before family authorities and legal support throughout the process.

Frequently asked questions
Uncontested divorce before a notary takes two to six weeks where agreement already exists on children, support and assets. Contested divorce before a family judge can take twelve to twenty-four months. The difference in time and cost usually justifies investing in building the agreement before filing.
Yes. An increase or reduction is available when the child’s needs or the payer’s financial capacity change. It is processed before a family judge or through conciliation at an authorised centre, which is faster where both parties are willing.
In financial terms yes, once the partnership and its property regime are declared, which requires two years of cohabitation. The practical difference is that in marriage the marital estate is presumed, whereas in a de facto partnership it must be proven — and that proof is where cases are lost.
