Family law is becoming increasingly important.
Inheritance law and family law issues are also
increasingly being applied to unmarried couples and alternative living arrangements. Nevertheless, divorce and the associated
conflicts are still the main focus of family law today.
• "You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family". The old saying still holds true and
is perhaps even more relevant than ever.
• Family disputes are almost always about children or money. Separation and divorce are particularly
prevalent (see also: Divorce lawyer Munich).
• Out-of-court settlements are always preferable in family law, but they require concessions from both
parties, which is often difficult during separation phases.
In my Munich law firm, I represent you in all your interests in family law. After an in-depth initial consultation, I can show you in detail which legal steps make sense in your specific case and how much effort and cost will be involved.
Separations or disputes about joint children or joint assets are a difficult time for everyone, but above all they are always the beginning of a new phase in life.
My philosophy as a lawyer for family law in Munich is to make this new path as easy as possible for you from a legal point of view.

Even more than in other areas of law, family law often requires haste, because the stressful situation of disputes or even separation and divorce that have already been finalised only have a psychological impact, but unfortunately all too often turn into physical violence. Worries about the financial future and also about their children put a strain on work and private life. An experienced family law lawyer can not only provide legal help here, but also knows of suitable further programmes and agencies that can at least make the situation a little easier.
Family law is a central component of civil law and regulates the legal relationships between spouses, civil partners, parents and children as well as other family members. It concerns not only the organisation of family relationships, but also their legal dissolution and the associated consequences.
Marriage plays a special role in family law. It regulates both the requirements for entering into a marriage and the legal effects during the marriage. This includes, for example, questions of matrimonial property law (e.g. community of accrued gains), maintenance obligations and joint parental care for children. Registered civil partnerships are also subject to similar regulations.
Divorce is a central area of family law. It is not only an emotionally complex situation, but also a legally complex one. Many questions need to be clarified in the course of a divorce, such as
In such cases, legal advice is often recommended in order to avoid legal disadvantages and find fair solutions.
Another important part of family law concerns maintenance. A distinction is made between:
The amount of maintenance is generally based on the income and living conditions of the parties involved. The so-called ‘Düsseldorf table’ serves as a guide.
Child custody law includes regulations on parentage, parental care and access rights. The welfare of the child is always at the centre of this. If the parents separate or divorce, decisions must be made about custody and contact - ideally by mutual agreement, if necessary by judicial clarification.
To summarise, family law accompanies people in decisive life situations - from the beginning of a partnership to starting a family to separation or inheritance. It serves to protect the family community and to balance legitimate interests. As family law conflicts often have a profound impact on personal life, sound legal advice from an experienced family law solicitor is particularly important.
Almost all issues in family law involve a strong emotional level. Divorce, separation and rights of access create a strong psychological distance between people who were once very close, which can all too often turn into anger and rage.
It is not easy to correctly represent the interests of one's own client as a lawyer for family law and yet always endeavour to achieve a balance. The art of family law is this successful balance, as this is the only way to effectively avoid or at least mitigate subsequent conflicts.
As a lawyer specialising in family law, I will of course also advise you individually and professionally on the following topics:
Initial assets, final assets, protection against violence, community of property, separation of property, gay marriage, cuckoo's child, naming rights, living wills, divorce settlement, divorce agreement, illegitimate child, calculation of maintenance, paternity, paternity action, paternity test, gains and equalisation of gains.
In practice, family law (a sub-area of civil law) primarily includes issues relating to marriage and child custody, as well as care, support or guardianship. The most frequent cases usually centre around custody, maintenance obligations and divorce.
Unfortunately, family law matters are often not covered by legal expenses insurance as standard. Most insurers offer supplementary insurance for this purpose.
Expertise is not about holding titles - it is about constant, professionally correct, practical work over many years.
Every case is different - as a lawyer, every case requires its own individual approach in order to do justice to the subject matter and the client.
Legal standards alone do not solve cases - efficient communication between lawyer and client, but also with the opposing party, ensures real results.
