Questions, answered

Before we begin.

How is a divorce started in Cyprus?

The route depends on whether the marriage was civil or religious; a religious marriage requires notice to the Bishopric first.

How is maintenance calculated?

By reference to the child's needs and each parent's means, assessed on the evidence filed.

How is matrimonial property divided?

Cyprus applies a contribution-based approach rather than automatic equal division.
