Divorce goes only through court, a Trennungsjahr (separation year) is mandatory. The court decides two things: Sorgerecht (custody — usually both, exceptions for violence) and Unterhalt (support: children by table, spouse if dependent). The Zugewinnausgleich splits property: gains halved. The Versorgungsausgleich splits pensions too. Advice: family lawyer ~€500–1,000, legal aid for the poor.
- ●Separation year: one year apart — possible in one flat, but separately
- ●Visitation right is guaranteed to both parents
- ●A divorce settlement agreement saves ~€2,000 in court
💔 ~40% of German marriages break — on average after 15 years. Second marriages last more often: experience teaches.
