Practice area: Civil status
Recognising, correcting or replacing the civil status records your family identity rests on.
A birth certificate that cannot be found, a mistake in a name, a marriage celebrated abroad that the authorities refuse to recognise and transcribe: civil status questions look administrative, sitting between administrative law and family law, but they often block everything that follows: residence, marriage, parentage, nationality. I help you get past the blockage.
What this covers
Civil status, the foundation of every other right.
Civil status is the starting point for many family and administrative steps. When a record is missing, wrong, incomplete or refused, essential steps grind to a halt: marriage, residence, nationality, parentage, inheritance, identity documents.
These cases often mean reconstructing the paper trail: foreign records, lost documents, contradictory entries, spelling errors, refusals of transcription or the absence of any usable record. I help you get past the blockage, either through the authorities or before the Family Court.
Common situations
When a document stops you from moving forward.
Behind every administrative blockage there is a legal route to have a foreign record recognised or corrected.
