Why work with a local divorce lawyer in Andorra?
Divorce in Andorra involves specific procedural rules, court structures and deadlines that differ from other countries. As a parliamentary co-principality, Andorra has its own judicial system where divorce is handled by the Batllia at first instance, with appeals to the Tribunal Superior de Justícia. Having an experienced divorce lawyer in Andorra on your side is essential to navigate the process, whether you are seeking a mutual consent divorce or a contentious one. Our free service connects you with qualified advocates admitted to the Andorran bar, ensuring you receive clear guidance and strong representation without any upfront cost.
How it works in Andorra
Divorce proceedings under Andorran law
Andorran divorce law is shaped by the country’s unique co-principality status, a civil system without a single code, and a judiciary that includes the Batllia and the Tribunal Superior de Justícia. Our service connects you with experienced advocates who can guide you through every step.
Court structure and jurisdiction
Divorce cases are heard by the Batllia d’Andorra, the first-instance court. Appeals go to the Tribunal Superior de Justícia, the highest instance. The judicial system is independent, and the Consell Superior de la Justícia oversees its administration.
Role of the advocate
In Andorra, there is no separate procurador profession. Your advocate, admitted to the Col·legi Oficial d’Advocats d’Andorra, both represents and defends you in all proceedings. You must use a lawyer who is a member of this bar.
Key deadlines to know
Procedural periods are counted in business days only, excluding weekends, public holidays, August and the Christmas period. For example, an appeal against a final divorce judgment must be filed within 20 business days from notification.
Costs and legal aid
Judicial fees apply to civil proceedings, including divorce claims. Advocates’ fees are freely agreed with your lawyer. If you have insufficient resources, you may apply for free legal aid, which can cover representation and some court expenses.
Language and documentation
Catalan is the sole official language of the courts. All filings, proceedings and judgments are in Catalan. Your lawyer will handle the necessary documents, but you should be aware that documents in other languages may require translation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about divorce lawyers in Andorra
How do I start divorce proceedings in Andorra?
You must file a claim with the Batllia d’Andorra, the first-instance court. The process requires an advocate admitted to the Col·legi Oficial d’Advocats d’Andorra, who will prepare and submit all necessary documents in Catalan. Our service can match you with such a lawyer.
What are the deadlines for appealing a divorce judgment?
An appeal against a final divorce judgment must be filed within 20 business days from notification. In special procedures, the period is 13 business days. Business days exclude weekends, public holidays, August and the Christmas period. Your lawyer will ensure compliance.
Do I need a lawyer for divorce in Andorra?
Yes, in most cases. Andorran procedural law generally requires representation by an advocate in contentious proceedings. The advocate both represents and defends you, as there is no separate procurador profession. Certain simplified procedures may not require a lawyer, but for divorce it is strongly advised.
How much do divorce lawyers cost in Andorra?
Advocates’ fees are freely agreed between you and your lawyer. In addition, judicial fees apply to civil claims, including divorce. If you have insufficient resources, you may apply for free legal aid, which can cover representation and some court expenses. The decision on legal aid is made within one month.
What language is used in Andorran courts?
Catalan is the sole official language of the courts. All filings, proceedings and judgments are in Catalan. Your lawyer will handle the documents, but if you provide documents in other languages, they may need to be translated for use in court.
How long does a divorce take in Andorra?
The duration varies depending on whether the divorce is by mutual consent or contentious, and on court workload. Andorran procedural law sets strict deadlines for each step, but there is no fixed overall time. Your lawyer can give you an estimate based on your specific circumstances after reviewing your case.
