Divorce and separation

The end of a marriage is always a profound change for those involved – both legally and personally.

Where an amicable solution cannot be reached, she resolutely represents her clients in family court proceedings.

Maintenance

Equalization of accrued gains and division of assets

Attorney Hagemann advises clients on both subsequent disputes and proactive planning: She calculates claims for equalization of accrued gains, asserts rights to information, and represents clients in contested proceedings up to the court decision.
