Regulation of relations with (minor) children
In the event of a breakdown of partnership or the dissolution of marriage, it is particularly important to regulate the relationships with minor children, i.e. to ensure the proper upbringing of minor children and payment of maintenance (alimony).

The best-case scenario is that the child’s parents are able to agree on how the child will be brought up, i.e. especially in whose custody the child will be and how the non-custodial parent will be in contact with the child and contribute to the child’s maintenance. However, since these issues are addressed after the parents’ separation, they are often clouded by the mutual hostility of the parents and their unwillingness or inability to agree on anything. Especially in such cases, the assistance of a professional – an attorney who can effectively and constructively mediate the agreement between the feuding parents is welcome and useful. For the sake of completeness, the parent’s obligation to maintain and support the child may continue even after the child reaches the age of majority, i.e. the age of 18, especially where the child studies at a secondary school and university.
