Organising the legal and financial consequences at an early stage

Separation or divorce changes personal, family and financial circumstances. JUDr. Gunther WITTENSTEIN Law Firm helps you prepare the necessary decisions in a structured manner and protect your rights in divorce and maintenance matters.

Preparing and conducting divorce proceedings

Before court proceedings are commenced, the date of separation, jurisdiction, personal and financial circumstances and potential ancillary matters are clarified. As a rule, a divorce application in Germany must be filed through a lawyer. The firm prepares the application, assists throughout the proceedings and coordinates the required documents.

Child, separation and post-divorce maintenance

Maintenance claims require careful determination of income, assets, needs, care contributions and other obligations. The firm assists with disclosure requests, calculations, negotiated settlements, enforceable titles and the judicial enforcement or defence of claims.

Pension equalisation and property matters

Divorce proceedings generally also address the equalisation of pension rights acquired during the marriage. Matrimonial property, jointly owned real estate, loans, bank accounts and household effects may also need to be resolved.

Agreed solutions and court representation

A workable agreement can reduce time, costs and additional strain. It must, however, be legally balanced, comprehensible and practical. If no agreement can be reached, the firm represents your interests in court.

Documents and deadlines

Relevant documents may include the marriage certificate, proof of income, tax assessments, pension information, loan and property documents and any existing agreements or enforceable titles. Early review helps ensure that deadlines and evidentiary requirements are addressed reliably.
