Trennung und Scheidung; Beratung

Mothers and fathers who have to care for a child or young person have a right to counseling in the event of separation or divorce.

The aim of counseling is to help build a family life based on partnership, to overcome conflicts within the family and to create the conditions for the child or young person to assume parental responsibility in a way that is conducive to their well-being.

In the case of separation and divorce, the focus of counseling is on ensuring that the children affected by parental separation and divorce and their needs are not lost sight of by the parents. Parents should be supported and empowered in shaping their responsible parenthood despite separation and divorce. The child or adolescent concerned must be appropriately involved in the development of an amicable concept for the exercise of parental care.

The counseling service is aimed at all mothers and fathers who have to care for a child or young person or are actually caring for them.

Fathers and mothers can take advantage of the advice free of charge.

If you need advice, contact a marriage and family counseling center, educational counseling center or the responsible district administrative authority.
