Child custody in Luxembourg is often the first concern after a separation. How the child will live, with whom, at what rhythm, who decides what. The firm helps you set a clear and stable framework, in the child's best interest, with particular care for families whose life is split across several countries.
How we support you
Setting the child's residence
Residence may be primary with one parent, with visitation and accommodation for the other, or arranged on an alternating basis. The right choice depends on the child's age, the distance between homes and each parent's daily life. The firm helps you build a realistic arrangement that lasts.
Exercising parental authority
Parental authority covers the important decisions in a child's life: health, schooling, relocation. It usually stays shared between both parents after the separation. The firm clarifies your rights and obligations to avoid day-to-day deadlocks.
Child maintenance
The contribution to the child's upbringing is calculated on several criteria, and it can be revised if the situation changes. The firm helps you set it up, adjust it or have it respected.
International situations
When parents hold different nationalities, or one considers moving abroad with the child, questions quickly become complex. Determining the competent court and applicable law then becomes essential, and the firm examines this as a priority.
Adjusting an existing agreement
An arrangement set two years ago may no longer match today's reality. A move, a new job, the child's age can justify a review. The firm helps you adapt the framework without reopening a needless conflict.
Enforcing a decision
A decision or an agreement is only worth what is actually applied. When the other parent does not respect visitation, accommodation or maintenance, solutions exist to restore your rights and those of the child. The firm helps you react in a measured and effective way, keeping the child's interest at the centre.

The child's best interest, the thread through every decision
In Luxembourg as elsewhere, every decision about children is guided by their interest, not the parents'.
Stability, the bond with each parent and listening to the child according to age matter more than matters of principle. Understanding this often changes how a case is approached: it is not about winning against the other parent, but about finding the arrangement that best protects the child. The firm helps you present your situation from this angle.
Shared or primary residence: what tips the balance
Shared residence appeals to many parents, but it does not suit every situation.
The closeness of homes, the parents' ability to communicate, and the child's age and rhythm all matter. A primary residence with one parent and broad visitation for the other can sometimes better protect the child's balance. The firm helps you assess the most realistic option rather than defend a theoretical model.
When co-parenting is difficult
Not all parents manage to agree, and some situations involve strong tension or even risks for the child or a parent.
In these cases, solutions exist to enforce visitation, frame exchanges, or protect the child. The firm guides you toward the right approach, always keeping the child's safety and stability at the centre.
Need legal advice?
A first confidential conversation to review your situation, in French or English.
The child lives alternately with each parent. The judge assesses it case by case, based on the child's interest and the parents' practical arrangements.
Can child maintenance be reviewed?
Yes, when circumstances change (income, the child's needs). The firm helps you with the request.
Can my child choose which parent to live with?
The child's views may be considered depending on age and maturity, without deciding alone.
Can I move abroad with my child?
This requires the agreement of the other parent holding parental authority, or a court decision. It is best to anticipate this.
What if the other parent ignores the visitation arrangement?
Solutions exist to enforce what was decided. The firm guides you toward the right approach.
Does parental authority change after divorce?
In principle it stays joint: important decisions are made together, regardless of where the child lives.
How is child maintenance set?
It reflects the child's needs and each parent's resources. The firm helps you present a well-supported request.
What if we hold different nationalities?
The question of competent court and applicable law arises. The firm examines it from the start to secure the child's situation.
