The number of divorces in Norway is rising, and approximately 40 per cent of all marriages end in divorce. How can you protect yourself financially when entering into a marriage or cohabitation? How should the division of assets be handled upon dissolution? And how should the generational handover in the business be carried out and the inheritance distributed?
Private individuals may need assistance to safeguard their own or their loved ones’ financial situation. This may include advice on entering into a prenuptial or cohabitation agreement, interpreting a will, or assistance in dispute resolution before the courts. Thommessen has extensive experience in assisting clients at all stages of such cases.
These cases often raise complex legal issues, involve significant sums of money and affect the parties’ private lives.
