Prenuptial Agreements Before and After Marriage

Legally Binding Agreements for Your Partnership

A separation agreement may include provisions regarding the division of assets and child custody.

Divorce, Pension Equalization, Asset Division and Spousal Maintenance

Legal certainty in divorce proceedings

In Germany, divorce can only be obtained through court proceedings and must be filed by an attorney. If the spouses agree on key issues, a divorce by mutual consent is possible – it saves time, money, and emotional stress. If there are disputes, the divorce is resolved in court through contested divorce proceedings.
