Introduction to German Family Law
ABOUT ME
My Expertise
Since my journey began, I have dedicated myself to supporting families through legal transitions. My background includes a postgraduate degree from Oxford University and a PhD from LMU Munich, coupled with international experience that informs my practice.
I offer comprehensive guidance in family law matters, including divorce, child custody, and alimony disputes. My goal is to help you navigate the complexities of family law with clarity and confidence, ensuring that your interests and those of your family are prioritized.
MY SERVICES
Expert Legal Assistance for Family Matters for international and German clients. I simplify the legal complexities surrounding family law, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your family. From mediation to representation in court, I ensure you have the necessary support to achieve a just outcome.
Divorce Proceedings
Guiding You Through Divorce
Going through a divorce is one of the most challenging experiences in a person's life. I provide clear, practical legal advice to help clients understand their rights and options — whether the process is straightforward or involves complex cross-border or financial matters.
Child Custody Arrangements
Securing Your Child’s Best Interests
I am not accepting offers for representation when I feel the client's demands do not reflect the best interest of the child.
Child custody arrangements are among the most sensitive matters in family law. I advise parents on their rights and responsibilities under German law, always keeping the child's best interests at the centre of every decision — whether through negotiated agreements or court proceedings.
Relocation cases
(Wegzug)
When a Parent Wants to Leave Berlin – Protecting Your Child from Relocation
When you learn that your child's other parent is planning to relocate abroad, time is critical. I advise parents on how to protect their relationship with their child – from emergency injunctions preventing an imminent move to full court proceedings on the right of residence.
Relocation cases are my core area of expertise. I have an in-depth understanding of the legal, procedural and emotional dimensions involved — and I know how to act fast when it matters most.
