Does anyone know a good eglish speaking legal company who can give me advice on child custody after a seperation? I am living in spain near to malaga and need some legal advice about access rights after a seperation and beofre a divorce is settled.

many thanks

Hi and welcome to BE.

I will transfer this post into the Spanish forum for you so that you will gain the advice that you require.

Rosemary

Welcome, JanePhillips.

I sent you a private message.

Hope to help you

Hi,

Why by PM? If you have a company to recommend, (that is not related to your business ) then share it here for others

When an English person comes onto a forum such as this asking for recommendations they are asking other English people to name professionals that fit the criteria and do not want people recommending themselves.

JanePhillips will not be able to receive your PM as she is too new to the forum so you need to make your comments on the open forum.

Hi Sue and Rosemary

It's being really hard to me to respect the rules here...

I sent the PM because I didn't want to make "spam" and to offer the possibility of having an advice from an english lawyer speaker.

One more time, I'm so sorry. I won't mention anything else that could be considerated spam...

So are you part of the company in your signature?

Rosemary

it really is very simple

we all advise each other, on the forum, in public, for free

if we don't have the required knowledge we recommend someone we know personally who does

some of us here are professionals in our field - we still openly & freely give advice on the forum

what we DON'T do, is use the forum to procure business for ourselves................

Agree with what Lynnxa says.

It is not only against the rules it is also not an acceptable way of doing business.

Rosemary

Ok, I see. Nothing happened, I have started in the wrong way here but from now I'll be good

lynnxa was spot on in her post above.

I know it's difficult because there is a a very fine line between contributing, and using the forum to promote oneself and some have difficulty figuring it all out. However, rule of thumb is ... be helpful, answer questions, help other people .... but don't mention your company or use a post/pm to tout for business. (you don't need to the details are in your sig that is visible each time you post ). That way if you build a great reputation for being helpful people will naturally come to you if they have use of your company, and everyone is a winner.

Apologies to thread starter for taking your thread off topic.

Can anyone help with janephillips question?

if the OP was in my area I'd recommend that she contact http://www.expresslegalcafe.com/


it's run by SueG who posts here

she's a long way from Málaga, but she might at the very least know of someone who can help down there - or at best be able to get the OP some advice over the phone

Beat me to it, I was about to type exactly that.

Rosemary

fastest finger first


or great minds think alike

Can't tell you of a lawyer but the law here isn't that much different than most in these matters.
A lot may depend on the nationality of the parents and child and if there are any plans for one of the parents to live somewhere that would cause access issues.
Clearly it is always best to try and resolve things amicably for everyones sake but especially the child/ren. It would appear from your post that this cannot be done then you must go the legal route.
I have to say that if the custodial parent makes a serious allegation against you that it is possible that you will not be allowed to have contact with your child at all, this can extend past the age of 18.
The law is very strict here on the protection of children.
Sorry if that sounds doom and gloom but I'm giving you worst case scenario and I wish you all the best.
