Overview
Family Law advice for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Family matters are conducted under the Family Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and where they involve property held abroad, foreign spouses or children resident in another state, they engage more than one legal system at once.
Digests Global Law Firm advises on family matters, with particular experience in cases involving business assets and a cross-border element.
Our family practice covers:
- Dissolution of marriage, in the registry office and before the courts
- Division of matrimonial property, including participatory interests in companies, shares and business assets
- Marriage contracts, and agreements on the division of property
- Determination of the residence of children and of the arrangements for contact with a parent living separately
- Maintenance of children and of a spouse, and its recovery
- Establishment and contestation of paternity
- Adoption and guardianship
- Matters involving foreign nationals, including recognition of foreign judgments and the international relocation of children
- Tax and corporate consequences of the division of business assets
- Appeals against decisions in family matters
Where circumstances permit, matters of this kind are better resolved by agreement than by judgment, and we advise accordingly. Where agreement is not possible, we represent the client before the courts.
