Dispute resolution and consumer arbitration

In the event of disputes between lawyers and their clients, out-of-court dispute resolution is available on application through the Rechtsanwaltskammer Frankfurt am Main (§ 73 Abs. 2 Nr. 3 BRAO) or through the Schlichtungsstelle der Rechtsanwaltschaft (arbitration body of the German legal profession), Rauchstraße 26, 10787 Berlin, www.schlichtungsstelle-der-rechtsanwaltschaft.de (§ 191f BRAO).

Apart from this, we are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general legislation. However, we are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general legislation remain unaffected.

Liability for links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. We can therefore accept no responsibility for such third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content.

Our services relate exclusively to German family law and to proceedings before German family courts (Familiengericht). The language of the court is German (§ 184 GVG): the divorce petition (Scheidungsantrag) and all court documents are filed in German. We advise and correspond in German and English.

Der Scheidungsprofessor is a purely legal service provided by a lawyer. It is not connected with the exercise of any public office; at the branch office in Montabaur, work is carried out exclusively in a lawyer's capacity.
