Individual assessment. Clear information. Legal rigour.

Initial assessment

Organising the dispute helps protect relationships and future decisions

Family proceedings combine rights, responsibilities, evidence and an intensely personal dimension. Legal work starts by separating urgent points from those that can be negotiated, always focusing on the child’s best interests where children are involved.

Agreements, the family home, spousal maintenance and court proceedings.

Parental responsibilities

Residence, contact, important decisions, maintenance and children’s expenses.

Family protection

Supported decision-making for adults, non-compliance and other measures suited to the case.

Relevant routines

Describe schedules, travel and everyday responsibilities relevant to the family.

Organised expenses

Group receipts by person, purpose and period.

Points of agreement

Distinguish what has already been agreed from questions still open.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is an agreement about the children required?

Parental responsibilities must be regulated. If there is no suitable agreement, the court will decide.

Does family mediation replace formal approval?

No. Agreements reached in mediation require approval by the competent authority to have the applicable legal effects.

Does a child always live with only one parent?

There is no automatic solution. Residence and contact must be determined according to the child’s best interests and the specific circumstances.
