Dear Lawyer,
My name is Friedhelm Schröter and I am facing the difficult decision of getting a divorce from my wife. We have been married for 15 years and have two children together. Lately, there have been increasing disagreements and conflicts between us, leading to an insurmountable distance.
I am unsure about the specific process of a divorce and what steps I need to consider. For example, how are alimony claims regulated and how will custody of our children be divided? Are there ways to achieve an amicable divorce to avoid unnecessary conflict and costs?
I am also concerned about my financial future after the divorce. What are the financial implications of a divorce for me and what are my rights regarding asset division?
I urgently need legal advice and support to navigate through this difficult phase in my life. I would greatly appreciate your professional guidance and assistance.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Friedhelm Schröter
Dear Mr. Schröter,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding your upcoming divorce. It is understandable that you are in a difficult situation and in need of legal advice. Divorce is always an emotional and legal challenge, especially when children are involved.
First and foremost, I would like to emphasize the importance of understanding that divorce is a complex process that requires time, patience, and professional support. The process of divorce depends on various factors, such as whether it is an amicable divorce or if there are issues that need to be resolved in court.
Regarding maintenance claims, it is important to know that both you and your wife may have maintenance claims. These may relate to spousal maintenance, child support, and possibly separation maintenance. The specific amount of maintenance payments depends on various factors, such as the income of both parties and the childcare needs of the children.
Child custody is usually exercised jointly unless there are specific reasons to the contrary. It is important that you and your wife find a reasonable and fair arrangement that serves the interests of the children as well as your own interests. An amicable divorce can help avoid unnecessary conflicts and find a peaceful solution.
As for the division of assets, shared assets are typically divided according to legal regulations. Factors such as marital property division play an important role. It is advisable to seek advice from an experienced attorney to protect your financial interests.
I am available for detailed advice and support to help you through this difficult phase. Please do not hesitate to contact me to schedule a consultation.
Sincerely,
Marcus Hering
