Discretion and rigor, in life's most personal moments
Diana Botero, a French-Colombian lawyer who lived in France for 8 years, supports individuals and families through civil and family matters — divorce, child custody, inheritance and disputes between individuals.
She pays particular attention to situations involving more than one country: a spouse living abroad, heirs spread across continents, or a blended family between Colombia and Europe. Every case is handled with the same confidentiality, whether purely Colombian or international.

An agreement between family. And one that holds over time.
A family agreement reached informally, with no legal framework, can feel sufficient at the time — until the day a disagreement arises.

Informal agreement between family
Diana Botero, Attorney
What seems settled amicably can become a conflict years later
Not out of bad faith. Often, because an agreement never had real legal standing.
A non-binding separation agreement
A verbal or informal agreement on assets or custody may hold no legal weight, and become a conflict again the moment one party changes their mind.
Poorly defined custody
Without a clear agreement on schedules, holidays or support, disagreements come back regularly — often at the children's expense.
A poorly settled estate
Without a properly executed partition deed, an inherited property can remain stuck — impossible to sell or transfer — for years.
A poorly drafted civil contract
A loan between relatives or a lease without a proper document becomes very hard to enforce if a disagreement arises.
Four steps. Real listening, at each of them.
The initial call
45 minutes with Diana, in full confidentiality, to understand your situation and priorities.
Analysis & options
Diana presents the realistic options, including the amicable route when possible, before any decision.
Negotiation or proceedings
Mediation and negotiation come first; representation before a judge if an amicable agreement isn't possible.
Formalization & registration
Drafting the agreement or deed, notarial approval if needed, and official registration.
Complete support, at your own pace
No hidden fees. Human support, from the first conversation through to resolving your situation.
Always know where your situation stands
Every step, every milestone. You never have to chase us for an update.

Straight answers
No, the initial consultation is paid — the fee depends on the nature of your case and is confirmed before you book. It isn't a sales call: it's real analysis time, with concrete answers about your situation.
Yes, this is a situation she handles regularly. She coordinates communications and documents remotely, whether your ex-spouse lives in Europe, North America, or elsewhere.
As a general guide, expect 6 to 10 weeks when both parties agree on the terms. A contested divorce takes longer, depending on the complexity of the disagreement.
Diana coordinates the process with each heir remotely, making sure the necessary documents (powers of attorney, apostilles, translations) are properly prepared, wherever they are.
She consistently favors the amicable route when it's realistic, since it's usually faster, less costly, and less draining for everyone — especially when children are involved. She represents you before a judge when an agreement isn't possible.
Yes, confidentiality is an absolute principle for this type of case. Nothing you share is disclosed without your explicit consent.
A written contract makes things easier, but its absence doesn't mean you have no recourse. Diana assesses the available evidence (messages, witnesses, payments) to determine your options.
In most cases, yes. Some steps (signing notarized deeds, for example) may require presence or a power of attorney — Diana will let you know as soon as your situation is clear.
