The content of this video is about being divorced in Germany at the law court and how this can change your entire life.

Before you can be divorced in Germany, you have to be separated from your wife or husband for a period of 1 year.

Separation means that, you don’t have to share the matrimonial bed, table and household. Which means, you can be in the same apartment and be in separation.

Sometimes the separation is more clear when you pack out of the matrimonial apartment and take a personal apartment on your own.

After a one year separation, you have to write to the family court with the help of lawyer for a divorce.

The case in the court may last up to 8 months depending on how both couples are cooperating in this divorce process and how quick the involved instructions are working.

If you are married to Germany as a foreigner and you were not married up to 3 years, the immigration office will ask you to leave Germany immediately they get to know about your separation.

The German laws can be confusing most times. It is therefore imperative that you have someone on your side who not only understands the law and the language but also understands English so as to better translate the laws for you.

Ignorance of the German law and the German language is not a defence nor can it be used as an excuse. Lawyer Imasi has over 15 years of experience in German Laws and he also has a very good understanding of the German language. You need someone like him on your side when the law is against you.

  1. Informative video. I have a friend who is currently in a situation whereby her husband is on her visa as a dependent and they have children who are all on her visa as well. The marriage has broken, in this case, he is fighting against her to stay back because of the children. Will he be asked to leave the country? or be asked to remain because of the children which he is not even providing for?
