Focus on families

Focus on families

For most people, the family is the center of their lives and a source of support. But of course not everything is "sunshine and roses": time pressure, the tension between family and career, financial challenges, new family constellations, omnipresent media and their effects - these can also mean family. This is where the fragile web of "family" sometimes reaches its limits.

Content and added value

In connection with the separation and sometimes even years afterwards, many questions arise on the subject of contact, for example: How do we decide what time the child should spend with which parent? Does it have to be the same for all children? What does the child need? What contact models do we know and what are their requirements? How can we make (legally) binding contact agreements? What role does custody play here? What is my responsibility? What is needed if changes are desired or necessary? What effects do the different contact models have on maintenance? What options do we have outside the (strict) maintenance rules to provide financially for all family members?

The event offers space for information, exchange and individual questions.

Speakers: Uta Rodler, specialist lawyer for family law and mediator (BAFM, QVM) and Birgitt Seifarth, Managing Director of Verband allein erziehender Mütter und Väter OV Aachen e.V., mediator, Kinder im Blick trainer, parent coach.

Further dates, topics and content will be added regularly and published here at www.aachen.de/familienfokus. The lecture series is open to all families and single parents. All events are free of charge.
