A divorce marks a profound turning point\u2014legally, financially, and personally. As divorce attorneys in Celle, we stand by your side during this difficult time and handle all the necessary steps of the divorce proceedings. Even during the separation, we advise you on important decisions (such as the use of the marital home or spousal support during separation) and draft a fair divorce settlement agreement. This helps us avoid unnecessary delays in the proceedings, as unresolved issues regarding spousal support, assets, or children can prolong the divorce process.<\/p>\n
Typical consequences of divorce that need to be settled:<\/p>\n
We address all these issues at an early stage and provide structured solutions. Our goal is to stressful disputes<\/i> to minimize conflict and reach amicable agreements wherever possible. An amicable divorce saves time, stress, and costs\u2014we mediate between the parties as needed and use our negotiation experience to reach an amicable settlement. Should an agreement not be possible, we will, of course, represent you vigorously in family court. In any case, we take care to fully protect your rights and to reach a sustainable solution for the period following the divorce.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tProperty settlement and equalization of accrued gains<\/h4>\n\t\t\t
The division of assets following a separation or divorce is often complex. We help you divide your assets fairly\u2014whether they are jointly owned property, savings, real estate, or debts. Under the statutory matrimonial property regime of community of accrued gains, a settlement of accrued gains is required at the end of the marriage: This involves determining which spouse experienced a greater increase in assets during the marriage in order to establish financial equalization. We calculate your accrued gains and review any claims for equalization payments.<\/p>\n
Even if a separation of property has been agreed upon or a prenuptial agreement is in place, we can advise you on enforcing the agreed-upon terms. We pay particular attention to complex assets such as real estate, business interests, or inheritances. In such cases, expert support is crucial to securing your financial claims. When necessary, we take an interdisciplinary approach\u2014for example, by collaborating with tax advisors\u2014to find the best possible solutions.<\/p>\n
Our aim is to avoid protracted disputes over money and property. We work towards an amicable distribution of assets, for example through an out-of-court settlement or mediated negotiations. If this is not successful, we represent your financial interests effectively in court. With our help, you can keep track of your finances and be sure that your share of the joint assets is protected.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
When parents separate, the children are often the focus of concern. Questions of custody (parental care) and access rights (right of contact with the child) are emotionally stressful. Our overriding principle in such cases: The welfare of the child has top priority. The best interests of the child are always at the center of all contact and custody arrangements.<\/p>\n
We support you in finding an amicable solution that is in the best interests of your children. Ideally, the mother and father will work together to develop a custody arrangement that meets the children\u2019s needs. We facilitate discussions and help you reach fair agreements\u2014for example, regarding the division of care time, the right to determine the child\u2019s residence, or vacation arrangements. An amicable agreement is least stressful for the children and promotes constructive cooperation between parents.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to reach an agreement. If the conflict escalates, we are committed to fighting for your rights as a parent. We make the necessary applications to the family court (e.g. for the transfer of sole custody or for access arrangements) and represent you in custody or access proceedings. In doing so, we always keep an eye on what is best for your child and try to avoid unnecessary burdens. Thanks to our experience with youth welfare offices, experts and family courts, we can present your perspective convincingly and bring about judicial solutions if necessary.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
In highly contentious custody or access proceedings, the family court often appoints a guardian ad litem (often referred to as the child's lawyer). A guardian ad litem represents the interests of minors in family court proceedings and ensures that the wishes and best interests of the child are heard during the proceedings. In practice, guardians ad litem are often appointed by experienced family lawyers or specially trained professionals (e.g. social education workers or psychologists).<\/p>\n
Our law firm has particular experience in this area: we take on guardianships and therefore have first-hand knowledge of the processes and requirements. This understanding also benefits our clients, as we know exactly what courts and guardians ad litem look out for. If a guardian ad litem is involved in your case, we will enter into a constructive exchange with them and at the same time work to ensure that your parental rights are safeguarded. Our aim is to find a solution that best reconciles the interests of the child and the parents.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
Financial security is important for everyone involved after a separation. We provide comprehensive advice on maintenance issues, particularly child support and spousal support. Regarding separation maintenance, we assist you in enforcing your claim from the time of separation until the divorce becomes final\u2014during this period, spouses remain financially obligated to one another. After the divorce, we assess claims for post-divorce support. In principle, German law applies the principle of personal responsibility after divorce, according to which each former spouse must provide for their own livelihood. However, there are numerous exceptions\u2014such as when caring for young children, in cases of illness, old age, or long-term marriages. We will determine whether alimony must be claimed or paid in your case, and in what amount.<\/p>\n
We also reliably calculate child support based on the current D\u00fcsseldorf table. We help the parent entitled to support receive appropriate child support and represent the parent obligated to pay support to defend against excessive claims. Child support can often be a point of contention\u2014we strive to reach clear agreements so that both sides have certainty in their planning. If necessary, we will enforce your child support claims in court or defend you against unjustified claims. With our expertise, we ensure that your child support issues are resolved in a legally sound manner.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
