Separation is not an easy situation for everyone involved. The aim is to minimize stress and possible point of contention.

Separation and divorce affect the whole family. Often the courage to live is there on the ground, often feelings also play a big role. Many changes are therefore in the house. Here a separation and divorce consultation can help to cope better with the separation.

In most cases, separation and family disputes involve people who will continue to have a relationship with each other. The whole family is affected, especially the children. Injured feelings and personal experiences make it difficult to dismantle a wall. Here a neutral third person can help. Mediation is a conflict resolution in which an amicable solution is sought for all participants.
It is often a matter of clarifying the following points:

• Implementing joint parental responsibility after the separation
• Contact of the children with both parents
• Resolving the future housing situation
• Sharing jointly acquired assets
• Managing financial commitments entered into together
• Realize maintenance payments
• Organize your professional and personal future

If a marriage can no longer be continued, a year of separation is a prerequisite for divorce. A divorce must be applied for before a family court. In principle, it is mandatory to have a lawyer. A family court deals with the application and finally divorces the deceased. The marriage is only considered divorced when the decision becomes legally binding. The couple to be divorced must agree on asset and pension equalisation, maintenance and matters concerning the children they share.

There are always consequences with a divorce and/or separation. Especially financially, since two households now have to be managed. There is the possibility to receive benefits from the state e.g. alimony advance, social assistance and housing benefit. The prerequisite is that the income is not sufficient and the main breadwinner does not pay enough maintenance. Separation and divorce is something that affects the whole family. Often the courage to live is on the ground because feelings almost always play an important role. Many changes are made in almost all areas of life. Here a separation and divorce consultation can help to master the separation better.
