As a divorce lawyer in Munich, I can give you a detailed assessment of the problems and costs you will face in the course of a divorce in an initial consultation. A divorce is always a major personal upheaval at first and of course the fear of future financial difficulties dominates - but German family law in particular offers many opportunities to bring this difficult path to a good end. As a competent divorce lawyer, I will always represent you with the aim of finding a co-operative and, if possible, de-escalating strategy - but will of course pursue your rights and claims just as resolutely and determinedly in the event of a dispute. As an English speaking divorce lawyer in Munich I do my bestto reolve your case in the best way possible.

Since almost every third marriage in Germany ends in divorce, it is not surprising that divorce lawyers play a major role in family law today. A divorce without a lawyer is generally not possible in Germany - only in the case of an amicable divorce does only the petitioner need a lawyer, but the partner does not. For this reason, it is not possible to put a general figure on the costs of a divorce lawyer, as they depend on the individual case.
However, a divorce lawyer not only has to deal with the legally prescribed activities in the context of the divorce process, but of course much more frequently also represents the interests of his client against the former partner. This can involve property matters, but of course also pension issues, maintenance issues or rights of access. Last but not least, a divorce lawyer can also ensure an orderly divorce and thus simplify and speed up the often physically and mentally difficult divorce process.
Our recommendation is therefore clear: always divorce and separate with a lawyer. This saves a lot of time and nerves.
What happens to the joint bank accounts and joint assets? Who gets the condominium, the car or the pets? Who will receive custody and access rights for the joint children and in what form? The issues that arise in the context of a divorce are diverse and extremely individual. Especially in large cities like Munich, a quick and easy separation is often difficult. With professional advice from a divorce lawyer right from the start, you can save yourself a lot of trouble and problems.
A good divorce lawyer not only takes a lot of work off the client's hands in terms of time, but also spares them a great deal of psychological and emotional stress by taking on the necessary communication and coordination with the former partner. A good divorce lawyer does all of this with the greatest possible calm and always gives the client the feeling that their matter is in good hands. As a rule, the best divorce lawyer is the one you rarely have to meet and who can do most of the work independently. Nevertheless, legal representation in divorce matters is of course something with a very personal and emotional context. A lawyer in the neighbourhood can then help even more directly and better. A divorce lawyer recommendation from friends and acquaintances is also often a good idea.
A lawyer is mandatory for divorces. The costs for the divorce lawyer are based on the value of the matter or the value in dispute of the divorce. The costs for the lawyer can then be read from the fee tables. The value in dispute is primarily influenced by 4 factors: the net income of the spouses, the assets of the spouses, the number of (dependent) children and any pension equalisation. I will be happy to advise you in detail during the initial consultation on the costs to be expected for a divorce lawyer in your individual case.
In the case of amicable divorces with only one lawyer, the costs are shared between the spouses.
The (minimum) costs for a divorce lawyer are determined by the Lawyers' Fees Act. These costs may not be undercut by law in court proceedings. However, a lawyer may also make individual fee agreements with the client. These are of course usually higher.

If separation of property has been agreed in a marriage contract, the assets of the two spouses remain completely separate.
The divorce becomes final one month after service of the decree on the spouses (if no further appeal is lodged).
A divorce by mutual consent can be finalised in Germany in 4-6 months (with pension equalisation - without pension equalisation usually 1-3 months).
The year of separation is the legal requirement for divorcing a marriage. However, in special cases of unreasonable hardship, a marriage can also be divorced in Germany without a year of separation. Recognised documentation of the year of separation can be achieved, for example, by changing the tax class accordingly.
The entire joint property of the spouses is included in the community of property. Only so-called special property and reserved property are excluded.
