Family Lawyers in Regensburg

A family lawyer in Regensburg handles divorces, maintenance claims and disputes over children for a mixed clientele. Families tied to the big plants, academics at the university and couples with roots in the Czech Republic or elsewhere in Eastern Europe all show up in local practice. Farms and family businesses in the surrounding districts add questions about who keeps land or company shares after a split.

Family matters start at the family court of the Amtsgericht Regensburg. Appeals are decided by the Oberlandesgericht Nürnberg. A lawyer must file for divorce, and the court usually requires a separation year. Pension rights built up during the marriage are shared out by the court unless a notarised contract excludes it. Equalisation of accrued gains, the Zugewinnausgleich, often becomes the main fight when a house or a business is involved. In child matters the Jugendamt of the city or district takes part and reports to the judge. Admissions can be checked with the Rechtsanwaltskammer Nürnberg. Fachanwalt für Familienrecht is the certified specialist title.

Costs depend on the value of the proceedings under the RVG and the family court fee act, with divorce values based mainly on net income. Success fees are generally prohibited. If you cannot afford a lawyer, apply for Verfahrenskostenhilfe. Bring certificates, income records, property documents and any marriage contract when you meet a family lawyer in Regensburg.
