Visitation

In contrast to divorce or separation from a partner, which is a one-off event; you remain parents for life. However, being able to separate the "couple relationship" from the "parent-child relationship" may be a major challenge for many parents in the aftermath of a failed relationship. Discord from the past between parents may confuse the issue at hand. Which should be the child’s wellbeing. Contact rights are an autonomous right of the child. Because the right of contact is about shaping a future relationship with the child, we therefore primarily recommend mediation in order to regulate contact rights.

If it is not possible to reach a mutual agreement on the right of contact, we will represent your interests in court and accompany you through the proceedings until an arrangement is found that is in the best interests of the child. We would be happy to inform you about the changes brought about by the 2013 Child Naming Amendment Act (KindNamRÄG), which has countered outdated ideas about the scope and content of contact rights (previously: visiting rights). Whatever challenges the right of contact may present to parents, it is imperative that the child be its focal point.
