As a family lawyer in Cuba, I was responsible for advising, mediating, and legally representing individuals in family conflicts such as divorces, child support, child custody, adoptions, and cases of domestic violence. My work was focused on promoting equality, respect, and the protection of the most vulnerable. I made a particular effort to defend children's rights, ensuring their well-being, safety, and comprehensive development in each legal process. I also collaborated with state institutions to ensure healthy and fair family environments, always guided by the best interests of the child.
