With regards to partner alimony, the person with the highest income is required to support the person with the lower income. Importantly, partner alimony is only required when your ex-partner is unable to financially maintain themselves.

A divorce is a lengthy and difficult process for both parties, especially when children are involved. Therefore, it is extremely important that there are clear agreements concerning the child. These agreements are categorized as visitation agreements and childcare agreements.
During the divorce agreements are made regarding the care of the child. These agreements are laid down in a parenting plan.
Moreover, after the divorce both parents may decide to make visitation arrangements. In some case only one parent exercises parental authority over the child. In such case it may make visitation arrangements with the parent that does not have parental authority. It may be that the parent who has parental authority refuses to make such arrangements. In such case, the parent who has been refused visitation may request visitation before a court of law. We are more than happy to support you in such cases.
A parent who has parental authority, is required to exercise care over the child. You are then allowed to perform official acts on behalf of the child. For instance, you may register the child, request a passport on behalf of the child and give permission for medical procedures. Furthermore, you can manage the finances of the child.
When your child is born within a marriage or a registered partnership, both partners acquire parental authority. In case there has been no marriage or registered partnership, you may not have parental authority. It is important to make appointments with regards to the recognition of the child. You may not be able to reach such an agreement. In such case do not hesitate to call us!
