Family Law: Beyond Crisis, Protecting Relationships and the Future

Family law is, perhaps, the most human and complex branch of jurisprudence.

It does not deal with abstract contracts or impersonal rules, but intervenes in the living fabric of human relationships, precisely at their most fragile moment: the end of a marriage, the reorganization of children's lives after a separation, the management of assets built with common sacrifices and dreams.

Facing these dynamics requires a professional figure who knows how to go beyond the purely legal, a professional capable of handling codes and emotions with equal expertise: a family lawyer.

The Bianucci Law Firm has built its reputation on a clear vision of family law: an area where the focus is not on the case, but on the person; not on conflict, but on the search for a new balance.

Our mission as family lawyers is to be a sure guide in a stormy moment, offering not just answers, but strategies; not just assistance, but protection.

Our Approach as Family Lawyers: An Integrated Method for Real Protection

Our work method is distinguished by a holistic and strategic approach, because a family lawyer knows that every family is a universe in itself and that there are no standardized solutions, only paths to be built tailor-made, with patience and competence.

• The supreme interest of minors as a moral and legal compass: Our first, and last, question in every case involving children is: what is their supreme interest? This is not a stylistic formula, but the guiding principle that directs our every choice. A responsible family lawyer works to de-escalate conflict, to protect children from instrumentalization, and to guarantee their inviolable right to serene growth and the maintenance of a healthy, constructive, and continuous relationship with both parents. Our goal is to transform two spouses in crisis into two aware parents.
• Mediation as a tool for building, not surrendering: We firmly believe that a good agreement, reached with awareness, is always superior to a judgment imposed by a judge. Therefore, we invest time and energy in negotiation. An experienced family lawyer is first and foremost a skilled mediator, capable of facilitating dialogue, smoothing rough edges, and helping parties find shared and, above all, lasting solutions. Preventing judicial warfare means protecting future relationships, especially parental ones, and preserving everyone's dignity.
• Uncompromising defense to protect inviolable rights: The search for an agreement does not mean weakness. When dialogue becomes impossible – due to physical or psychological violence, serious harm to minors, or unreasonable positions that clearly infringe upon the rights of one party – our approach changes. Legal action then becomes firm, rigorous, and uncompromising, aimed at obtaining the maximum protection that the legal system can offer.
• A multidisciplinary approach for 360-degree protection: Family crises have legal, but also emotional, psychological, and financial implications. A modern family lawyer cannot ignore this complexity. For this reason, we rely on a consolidated and trusted network of external professionals – psychologists, family therapists, clinical pedagogists, accountants, and investigators. This integrated approach is crucial for managing the emotional impact of the crisis, for providing the judge (and ourselves) with all the necessary elements to find the most appropriate solutions, and for ensuring a correct and strategic division of assets, even the most complex ones.

Our Firm's Areas of Intervention: A Comprehensive View of Relationship Law

The expertise of a family lawyer extends to all issues that may arise within a family unit, whether founded on marriage or on a de facto union.

Couple's Crisis (Married and Unmarried):

We provide complete and highly specialized legal assistance for separations, divorces, and the regulation of relationships between cohabiting partners, with particular and meticulous attention to child custody (custody and support) and the definition of all financial aspects.

Consensual and Judicial Proceedings:

We guide our clients in choosing the legal path most suitable for their specific situation, clearly and thoroughly explaining the phases, costs, and timelines of each option, from rapid and modern Assisted Negotiation to more complex and structured judicial proceedings.

Fundamental Concepts of Family Law Explained by Your Family Lawyer

Our role is also to clarify, translating the complex language of the law into understandable concepts that allow you to make informed and conscious decisions for your future.

Parental Responsibility and Types of Child Custody:

We explain in detail what "parental responsibility" means today and what the concrete differences are between joint custody (which is the rule in our legal system and the principle to strive for), sole custody (an exception justified by serious and proven reasons of parental inadequacy), and super-sole or enhanced custody (an even rarer and more impactful measure for cases of total lack of cooperation and serious harm to the minor).

Contribution to Maintenance: An Obligation of Shared Responsibility

We detail the concrete criteria used by the Court to determine child support payments.

This is not a mathematical formula, but a calculation based on a principle of proportionality that takes into account a variety of factors: the child's concrete needs (based on age and inclinations), the standard of living enjoyed during cohabitation, the time spent with each parent, their respective financial and asset resources, and the economic value of domestic and care tasks undertaken by each.

We also clarify the fundamental distinction between maintenance payments in the context of separation (which has a primarily welfare function linked to the standard of living) and divorce alimony, which has completely different prerequisites and purposes (welfare, equalization, and compensation).

Protection of the Family Home: A Constant for Children's Stability

We explain how the right to use the home is not a reward or a penalty, but a tool solely aimed at protecting the children's living environment, ensuring them the greatest possible stability during a time of great change.

This right is not linked to property ownership and ceases upon the children's economic independence.
