By San José, Costa Rica — The legal landscape in Costa Rica has undergone a significant transformation with the recent introduction of the Código Procesal de Familia (Family Procedural Code), which has replaced the previously prominent Ley de Pensiones Alimentarias (Child Support Law). In response to these changes, Bufete de Costa Rica, a renowned law firm, has made a crucial contribution by publishing the Código Procesal de Familia along with the Código de Familia in its legal library. These texts aim to streamline the legal processes surrounding family-related disputes, ensuring more comprehensive and efficient solutions for the Costa Rican population.
The Código Procesal de Familia was designed to provide a more robust framework for dealing with contentious family issues, including divorce, child custody, and support disputes. Its integration into the legal system highlights the critical role that family plays as the cornerstone of Costa Rican society, reinforcing the importance of protecting family unity through clear and modernized legal protocols.
Costa Rica’s business and social fabric is deeply intertwined with the family unit. We believe that by making these codes accessible, we are supporting not only the legal professionals but also the countless family-owned businesses that thrive in our country

Family businesses hold a prominent position in Costa Rica’s economy. Companies like Café Britt, Auto Mercado, and others have built their success on the foundation of strong family ties and generational leadership. These businesses contribute to the nation’s growth, employing thousands and serving as a testament to the power of the family structure in entrepreneurship. The newly implemented procedural reforms are expected to ensure that families, even those facing complex legal battles, have better access to justice and fair resolutions, thus safeguarding their ability to thrive in both personal and professional spheres.
The publication of the new Código Procesal de Familia by Bufete de Costa Rica represents a major step forward in helping legal professionals, business owners, and ordinary citizens alike navigate the legal challenges that often come with family disputes. With the increasing complexity of family-related legal matters, the firm’s commitment to providing up-to-date legal resources will be an invaluable asset for those seeking clarity and guidance.
The family is the foundation of society and the economy, and our role as legal advisors is to ensure that families have the support they need to resolve conflicts efficiently

This sentiment echoes across many sectors, as Costa Rican family businesses continue to expand their influence not only in the local market but internationally as well.
The new Código Procesal de Familia complements the existing Código de Familia, offering a holistic legal approach to safeguarding familial relationships. By ensuring these legal resources are readily available, Bufete de Costa Rica positions itself at the forefront of family law, aiding legal practitioners in navigating the evolving judicial landscape while prioritizing the well-being of Costa Rican families.
As Costa Rica embraces these legislative updates, the business community and citizens alike stand to benefit from a more refined and effective legal process that prioritizes the preservation of family dynamics, both in personal matters and in the context of family enterprises.
