Family Cases Affect More Than the Outcome of a Lawsuit.
Divorce, child custody, visitation, and cross-border family disputes can affect your children, finances, living arrangements, and future for years to come. We help international clients understand their legal position and make careful decisions at every stage.
LL.M., National Taiwan University
The legal case may end. The family relationship often does not.
Family disputes are different from ordinary litigation. A divorce judgment may end a marriage, but questions involving children, parenting schedules, child support, property, communication, and future decision-making may continue long after the court proceeding is over.
For that reason, a strong family law strategy should not focus only on obtaining a favorable order today.
It should also consider what that order will mean six months, two years, or five years from now.
We are also asking: “What arrangement best protects your rights, your children, and your ability to move forward?”
Family law requires legal strategy without losing sight of real life.
The strongest legal strategy is one that considers the court case and the life that continues after it.
Understand Your Legal Position
Before making major decisions, we identify your legal rights, obligations, available claims, evidence, and procedural options.
Protect the Child's Long-Term Interests
Where children are involved, strategy must account for stability, caregiving arrangements, parental cooperation, and the child's relationship with both parents.
Think Beyond the Hearing
We consider whether the proposed arrangement can actually function after mediation, settlement, or judgment—not simply whether it sounds favorable on paper.
We are helping a family determine what comes next.
The court is not deciding which parent is the “winner.”
In custody and visitation disputes, the central question is what arrangement serves the best interests of the child.
Custody cases are built through facts, behavior, and evidence.
It is usually not enough to argue that one parent is more loving, more responsible, or more deserving.
The court considers the child's actual life: who has been caring for the child, the child's relationship with each parent, stability of the proposed living arrangement, each parent's caregiving ability, and whether each parent is willing to support the child's relationship with the other parent.
How We Can Assist
We assist local and international clients with family disputes, agreements, mediation, court proceedings, and cross-border matters.
Divorce
Divorce agreements, negotiation, court mediation, judicial divorce proceedings, and strategy concerning the legal and practical consequences of separation.
Child Custody
Disputes concerning parental rights and responsibilities, primary caregiving arrangements, changes to custody, and the best interests of minor children.
Visitation & Parenting Time
Establishing, modifying, enforcing, or responding to disputes involving parenting schedules, visitation denial, and obstruction of parent-child contact.

Legal assistance involving domestic violence, harassment, threats, protection-order proceedings, preparation of evidence, and court representation.
Guardianship Matters
Guardianship declarations, assistance declarations, appointment of guardians, and related family non-contentious proceedings.
Parent Support Obligations
Applications to reduce or exempt an adult child's obligation to support a parent where statutory requirements and serious circumstances are present.
Cross-Border Family Matters
International marriages, foreign spouses, overseas parties, cross-border divorce, international family arrangements, and related matters involving Taiwan law.
Cross-border family disputes add another layer of complexity.
When one spouse is foreign, one parent lives overseas, the child has connections to multiple countries, or documents were issued outside Taiwan, the practical issues can become much more complicated.
International clients may also be unfamiliar with Taiwan's mediation system, family investigators, court procedures, documentary requirements, or the way custody and visitation evidence is evaluated.
We provide legal advice directly in English and help clients understand both the Taiwan legal procedure and the practical implications of each available option.
Legal issues involving Taiwanese and foreign spouses, different nationalities, and overseas residence.
Initial consultations and document review may be conducted remotely when the client is outside Taiwan.
Assistance in identifying whether overseas documents, translations, notarization, or authentication may be needed.
Custody, visitation, travel, residence, and parenting arrangements may require additional consideration when parents live in different countries.
Discuss evidence, court developments, legal strategy, and settlement options directly with your attorney in English.
Start by understanding the situation before deciding how aggressively to proceed.
Not every family dispute should immediately become litigation. We first identify the legal position, evidence, urgency, and long-term objectives before discussing the appropriate next step.
Understand the Situation
Marriage, children, living arrangements, communication history, finances, existing agreements, and current court proceedings.
Review the Evidence
Messages, recordings, financial records, parenting history, school information, court documents, and other relevant materials.
Define the Objective
Divorce, custody arrangement, parenting time, financial support, property division, protection, or another practical result.
Choose the Strategy
Negotiation, agreement drafting, mediation, litigation, enforcement, or another procedure depending on the circumstances.
Family law requires both strategy and restraint.
We Think Beyond the Immediate Conflict
A strategy that produces a short-term advantage may create years of future conflict. We consider the long-term practical consequences of each major decision.
We Build Cases Around Evidence
Custody and family disputes are not won by accusations alone. We help organize concrete facts and evidence that allow the court to understand what is actually happening.
We Understand International Clients
Foreign spouses and overseas parents may face language, distance, immigration, documentation, and procedural challenges that require additional planning.
