About us
Two lawyers, one area of law
Divorce, children, assets: we focus on what matters to you now. As a family law practice, we support you with maintenance and assets, the marital home, cross-border divorces and the questions about your children that come with the divorce. We advise you at our office in Frankfurt or by Zoom, wherever you live in Germany.
Mieke and Dietrich Karcher
Mieke Karcher handles divorces and maintenance proceedings and also looks after online divorces and international family law. Dietrich Karcher advises on assets and property.
A new beginning needs strong support
A separation is more than a legal proceeding. It changes your home, your finances and your children’s everyday life, often all at once. During this time, we are not only your legal representatives but a steady anchor.
Being right does not have to mean destroying the future. That is why we work to de-escalate and look for agreement first. Our aim is to avoid years of conflict, to protect your assets and, where children are involved, to lay a foundation on which you can still be parents together after the divorce.
We see you through this time, in court if need be, so that the end of your marriage can become a new beginning that lasts.
Four things you can rely on
We say the unpleasant part first
If your prospects are poor, you will hear so in the first conversation, not after the third brief.
Confidential from the first word
Attorney-client confidentiality applies from the first conversation, even if you do not go on to hire us.
No hourly rate
We bill the statutory fees, which depend on the Verfahrenswert (value of the proceedings).
You know what is happening
We forward mail from the court to you, with a note on what it means and whether you need to do anything.
When we are not the right fit
A small practice cannot do everything. We do not take on a case that falls outside our area, or one we could not handle the way it deserves.
Not our area
Criminal law, inheritance law, employment law, landlord and tenant law, traffic law.
Conflicting interests
If the other side is already our client, we cannot represent you. We check this before the appointment and tell you right away.
Even in an einvernehmliche Scheidung (uncontested divorce) we act for one side only. We do not advise the other side, but they can consent without a lawyer of their own.
