Child Support and Custody

Are you concerned about the lifestyle and social circle of your ex-partner and believe that they may not be capable of exercising custody properly, fulfilling their duty of care, and protecting the child from harm? Could a new partner have a negative influence on the child’s wellbeing, upbringing, or development?

The private detectives of Aaden Detective Agency Berlin can assist you in clarifying these stressful issues: +49 30 2016 9221-0.

Breach of Duty of Care

Parental separation is particularly difficult for children. In recent years, family courts increasingly grant custody to both parents, but this does not always work smoothly in practice. Usually, both parents make joint decisions, but the child mainly resides with one parent, as the other parent may have less time due to work or other reasons. Whether the child is truly well cared for with one parent, and whether the other parent still provides adequate attention, are circumstances that the court cannot fully determine during proceedings.

Behaviours that raise concerns about a parent’s suitability include alcohol or drug abuse, violent behaviour, criminal activity, and more. Even if your ex-partner turns the child against you or spreads misleading negative statements about you, they may be unfit to care for your shared child. To investigate these circumstances, our experienced private detectives from Berlin are available: info@aaden-detektive-berlin.de.

Violation of Child Support Obligations

Failure to provide adequate child support is not a minor offence; it is punishable by law and can even lead to imprisonment:

“Anyone who evades a statutory maintenance obligation in such a way that the living needs of the maintenance recipient are endangered, or would be without the help of others, is punishable by imprisonment of up to three years or a fine.” (§ 170, para. 1 StGB)

If child support is not paid or is only partially paid, our Berlin private detectives can provide evidence for retroactive payments or adjustment of maintenance amounts. In addition, criminal charges can result in significant financial penalties or imprisonment.
