Child support in the separation case : Who is in charge of much, they should pay less

Federal Minister for family Affairs Franziska Giffey has successfully brought proposals to the conversation, to the fathers of the separation of children better. It should not be that men have to pay the full maintenance, if children spend at times when you lived and a lot of time with them. The law must be adapted to the social reality.

it's True. It is more likely to give a few that wanted to ride this insight. The theses are also not an invention Giffeys, but will be discussed for years in legal policy, among other things, the last of the German jurists forum in 2018 in Leipzig, but of course in the parties. A set with similar motifs can be found already in the coalition agreement, where the partners have agreed to consider it "stronger" when both parents after separation and divorce, in the parental responsibility involved.

The rule: it educates, it pays

in Addition, worked in the house the responsible Minister Katarina Barley (SPD) in the project, in the summer to give suggestions. But of course, there is nothing to grab from time to time an owl to carry them to Athens. Finally, the animals are regarded as a Symbol of wisdom.

The reality, to adapt to Giffeys words, the right is, of course, more complicated than a short sentence with a few key terms. Applicable, the Minister highlighted a contradiction in the applicable custody and maintenance law. The legislator assumes that a guard and educates, while the other pays. No incorrect typing. This is still the rule, which has a lot to do with Role models, differences in salaries, and, not to under-estimate, the Express of the Affected Want to issues, with the inclusion of the welfare of a Child. But it is also true that more and more women succeed in the profession and men in family life. The effect, with some delay, also on the separation case.

the current law has no appropriate instruments of Europe. The child maintenance is based on the determined care shares, usually at the "residence model", in which the child lives with one parent, and the other has a right of access. Some, like many in the FDP, wants to write, therefore, immediately, the "exchange model" as a model, in which the children commute on a basis of parity between the two households.

Opening of new requirements

Much of the reality, don't want to be just Giffey, takes plays between these two poles. It takes therefore more likely to be openness and flexibility instead of a new direction of the show. These areas of family policy for women's or men's political concerns rather unsuitable; it comes to the very personal crop of solutions in a General conflict-prone and, therefore, pitiful Situation.

Consequently, If reform is not in the foreground, but the How. What is important here is that the possibilities for a fair balance must not come at the expense of the children. This speaks for a gradual, cautious reform, the tires, the developments traced in their place of preference.

Minister for family Affairs, Giffey wants to make the fathers of the separation of children legally

must Precede the civil society. It could start by saying that fathers who claim, after a separation of more care, not more, to want to before maintenance press. In case of claims of mothers, no one would come to such allegations. Why is that? Maybe some bad experiences. But, above all, to prejudices and stereotypes. It is high time to say goodbye to them.
