Private Detectives Assist With Custody Issues

In recent years, German family courts have increasingly tended to transfer custody to both parents in the best interests of the child or children, provided that the parents live within reasonable proximity to one another and, where applicable, to the school or nursery attended by the child. This enables children to maintain contact with both parents with little or no change. In addition, child maintenance costs can be regulated more easily, as both parents contribute to maintenance while the child is in their care.

However, breaches of the duty of care may lead to a modification of custody arrangements. If you suspect that the father or mother of your child is not exercising custody properly, the private investigators of Kurtz Investigations Nuremberg will be pleased to assist you with the collection of evidence: +49 911 3782 0154.

Nuremberg Private Detectives Prove a Parent’s Lack of Suitability for Child-Rearing

If one of the two parents proves incapable of raising the child, the other should act urgently to prevent harm to the shared child. Exclusion criteria primarily include negative influences in the social environment, breaches of the duty of care, violent behaviour, criminal activity and alcohol or drug addiction. In such cases, family courts usually either assume a lack of role-model suitability or even recognise a direct risk to the child posed by the respective guardian. In this situation, the reliable parent is awarded sole custody and thus also the entitlement to child maintenance, while the other parent is obliged to pay maintenance to the child and, where applicable, also to the divorced partner – among other factors depending on whether the child still requires the constant care of one parent.
