The first step
Almost every one of these paths begins at the same point. Before a divorce can be filed, a clear separation is required. As a rule, couples must live apart for at least one year – the so-called year of separation. We support you already in this phase and show you how the separation can be arranged with legal certainty, even if you still live in a shared home.
Together we clarify questions of separation maintenance and sensible arrangements for children. A well-prepared separation is often the decisive step towards a fast, fair and low-conflict divorce. How the proceedings then unfold step by step is shown below.
Year of separation
12 months
Minimum duration of separation before the divorce petition can be filed.
A prerequisite for every divorce in Germany.
We clarify maintenance, assets, arrangements for children and strategy.
We handle all legal steps and file the petition for you.
The court calculates the pension entitlements – we help with the preparation.
A short court hearing – we are by your side.
You receive the court's divorce decree and are officially divorced.
For these steps to run smoothly, the right documents matter. This overview shows which documents you should best gather in advance.
Costs
Once the documents are together, it also becomes possible to estimate what lies ahead financially. The cost of a divorce depends on the value of the proceedings – it is derived from the income and assets of both spouses. Court and lawyer fees are based on this, following the statutory rules.
What counts is the income and assets of both spouses – not how contested the divorce is.
Court and lawyer fees follow the statutory rules (FamGKG, RVG) and are therefore transparent.
In an amicable divorce, as a rule only one spouse needs to be represented by a lawyer.
The actual amount depends on your individual case. Our divorce cost calculator gives you a non-binding orientation.
Your consultation
What your case means in concrete terms is best discussed in a personal conversation – either at our office in Frankfurt-Gallus or by video call. Both are equally personal: by video you speak with us just as directly, only conveniently from home or on the go. That saves you travel and time, especially if you don't live in Frankfurt.
