Gesetz zur Berücksichtigung von Gewalt in Sorge- und Umgangsverfahren

Stage submittedUpdated 4mo ago

This legislative procedure aims to improve the protection of children and parents in family court cases. It focuses on ensuring that domestic violence is systematically considered when courts decide on child custody and visitation rights to prevent further harm. This change primarily affects families involved in custody disputes and the judicial system. It requires courts to prioritize the safety and well-being of the child over the general principle of maintaining contact with both parents if violence has occurred.
