As a divorce lawyer, in addition to the profound professional knowledge that can be taken for granted, a great deal of psychological skill is also required. The original plan of a married couple was usually that not a court, but only death would end the union. In general, the following questions arise for the divorce lawyer:

• Property law (division of assets or debts accrued during the marriage, especially real estate, taking into account any prenuptial agreements as well as the differentiation of "industrial vs. conjunctive" added value; gratuitous participation of the spouse in the partner's business, etc.);
• Post-marital maintenance to the divorced spouse or, in particular, the marriage-related loss in terms of economic advancement;
• Allocation of pension entitlements (AHV, BVG, FZA, third pillar);
• best interests of the child (allocation of parental care; custody and visitation rights; maintenance);
• Costs of the divorce proceedings (divorce attorney and court costs).
