Matrimonial law

Various legal problems may arise with the termination or dissolution of a marriage.

At the latest when a spouse leaves the shared home, the situation must be redefined in the event of separation. Who will receive the apartment? How much maintenance / alimony must be paid? Who should be allowed to live with the children? In this emotionally charged situation, it is important to have a strong and empathetic partner in order to have the open questions of separation settled in court if necessary (proceedings to protect the marital union).

A separation phase is usually followed by a definitive divorce. This can be jointly desired or must be enforced in a lawsuits. In this case, apart from the matters to be regulated in the separation, the division of matrimonial property and occupational pension assets must be carried out.

Domestic violence

In an existing or dissolved family or partnership relationship, individuals may be violated or endangered in their physical, sexual or psychological integrity. This can happen in particular through violence, threat or repeated harassment or stalking of the person concerned.

Child protection and protection of adults

The aim of child and adult protection law is to ensure the protection of persons who are unable to help themselves or obtain necessary support. Such persons in need of assistance are in particular underage children or adults suffering from mental or psychological impairments or addictions.

In principle, the child and adult protection authorities (KESB) are responsible for ordering protective measures. Such protective measures may include, for example, the arrangement of assistance or accommodation of persons.

In the context of an employment relationship, many legal issues may arise with the employee and employer, which require careful clarification.
