Procedure

  • You contact the advice center to describe your concerns and to arrange an initial appointment. This can be done by phone, email or in person.
  • In the first conversation, you explain your situation and your concerns. This helps the consultants understand your needs and the specific conflicts or challenges.
  • If necessary, further appointments will be made for detailed consultations. These discussions can take place alone, with your partner or with the whole family.
  • During the consultation, the consultants analyze the situation together with you, identify problem areas and work out possible solutions. Both the legal and the emotional aspects are considered.
  • The consultants will help you develop concrete agreements or arrangements to resolve conflicts or optimize the custody plan. This may also include creating written agreements.
  • In some cases, follow-up support may be useful to ensure that the agreed solutions are implemented and to clarify any further questions or problems.
  • The consultation ends when your concerns have been dealt with and you feel able to take the next steps independently. However, you can still request support if necessary.
