Familienrechtsinfo.de is a German online legal information portal focused on family law — covering topics such as divorce, child custody, maintenance (Unterhalt), property division, and parental rights under German law. The site provides accessible legal guidance in German for individuals navigating the German family court system.
For expats in Germany, family law issues can be particularly complex — especially when one or both spouses hold foreign nationality, when assets are located in multiple countries, or when questions of jurisdiction arise between Germany and another country’s legal system. Understanding the German legal framework before engaging a lawyer can save time and money, and Familienrechtsinfo.de provides a solid starting point for this research.
The portal explains German family law concepts in plain language, includes practical guidance on procedural steps, and offers referrals to specialist family law attorneys in Germany. Articles cover the full lifecycle of family legal matters — from prenuptial agreements to divorce proceedings to post-divorce parental arrangements.
For expatriate couples separating in Germany, or for expats dealing with cross-border child custody, the portal helps demystify what can be an emotionally and legally overwhelming process. It is an important first resource before engaging formal legal counsel.
