The Bridge

International
Spanish Family Law

High-level advice and coordination in family matters with cross-border elements between Spain and other jurisdictions.

We’re Advocates for
Justice and Right

The Bridge is a collaborative platform formed by independent lawyers with extensive experience in Spanish family law, especially when international elements are involved. Each member retains full professional independence while benefiting from coordinated strategy, shared expertise, and peer review in complex matters.

In Spain, there is no single unified family law. Instead, there is a legislative framework that includes several regional civil laws (Derechos Civiles Forales). In a given case, civil domicile (Vecindad Civil) and habitual residence (Residencia Habitual), may both play a role, along with nationality. Understanding these internal distinctions is essential when coordinating proceedings between Spain, and the EU, England and Wales, and other jurisdictions.
