In such a situation, it is not enough just to know the law. It is important to have an attorney by your side who can handle the matter practically, clearly, and without unnecessary conflict. As family law attorneys from Ostrava, we help clients especially in situations where it is necessary to adjust the care of minor children, determine alimony, change a previous court decision, or protect parental contact with a child. Every case has its specifics. Therefore, we look for a solution that makes both legal and human sense.
Clients from Ostrava most often resolve family law issues that have a direct impact on the daily lives of parents and children. Most frequently, these involve child custody, joint custody, sole custody, visitation rights, determining alimony, or its increase or decrease. We will also help you if the other parent does not follow the agreement, does not pay alimony, or prevents contact with the child.
In practice, the decisive factor is not only what you want to propose to the court, but also how the proposal is structured, what it is based on, and whether it corresponds to the best interests of the child. This is often what the outcome of the entire proceeding depends on.
We provide legal assistance especially in the following areas:
If you are also dealing with the termination of a marriage at the same time, you can find related information on the page dedicated to divorces.
When making a decision, the court does not only assess the wishes of the parents, but primarily the best interests of the child. It monitors the stability of the environment, the parents’ ability to communicate with each other, previous care, and the practical functioning of the family. Therefore, it is important to know when it makes sense to strive for joint custody and when, on the contrary, sole custody by one of the parents is more appropriate.
We will help you correctly formulate the proposal and prepare the arguments so that they correspond to the specific situation. Every case is individual and there is no universal solution.
Alimony must be assessed based on the needs of the child, the possibilities and abilities of the parents, and the specific life situation.
We help both with the initial determination of alimony and with its increase, decrease, or the enforcement of overdue alimony.
Situations are common where an older decision already exists, but circumstances have changed – the child is older, costs are changing, parents have different incomes, or the established care regime is not working. In such cases, it is possible to request a change in the court decision.
Ideally at the moment when it is clear that a stable agreement regarding children, contact, or alimony will not be reached between the parents. Timely legal help can prevent unnecessary mistakes.
Yes, but it always depends on the specific circumstances and the best interests of the child.
Yes, if there is a substantial change in circumstances on the part of the child or parents, it is possible to request both an increase and a decrease in alimony.
Yes, we can take over representation even in a case that has already been initiated and propose the next steps.
Family law is a sensitive area. All the more important is to have a partner by your side who focuses on the result, communication, and the protection of your rights. If you are looking for a family law attorney in Ostrava and are dealing with child custody, alimony, sole or joint custody, contact us. Together we will set the next steps so that they have a solid legal basis and make sense for the future.

I can truly recommend the law firm of JUDr. Marek Matěna. The dealings were very pleasant, professional, and incredibly fast. At the beginning, I did my own inquiry process, including reading reviews of several law firms. Mr. Matěna’s firm was, of course, incomparably the best, and not only in terms of price. After that, I received a response immediately and knew exactly how much I would be paying for which services. Subsequent communication was truly very professional and fast, and for me, it was a big bonus that we were ultimately able to resolve everything online and no personal meeting was necessary. I truly RECOMMEND the law firm of JUDr. Marek Matěna.

Potřebovala jsem zařídit darování bytu od prarodičů tak, aby se nemuseli o nic starat a bylo to pro ně co nejjednodušší a ideálně, abych to měla co nejsnadnější i já. Přesně s tím mi právě pan Matěna pomohl a vše sepsal sám tak jak jsem chtěla. Stačilo jen podepsat plus mi zpracoval i návrh na vklad do katastru bez toho aniž by si něco navíc učtoval. Co víc si od právníka přát. Moc děkuji a doporučuji všem
