Familienrecht und internationales Familienrecht
Family law is a broad field and not every aspect of life is immediately associated with family law. However, in addition to family law in the narrower sense, especially divorce and the laws regarding parental responsibilities, family law in the broader sense includes references to inheritance and tax law and - in international cases - so-called international private law (or conflict of laws).
Family law in the narrower sense essentially determines the legal consequences of a separation. In addition to the economic aspects, it includes personal aspects, e.g. the right of custody (or decision-making) and visitation/access with/to joint children.
The economic aspects include, among other things, compensation under matrimonial property law (e.g. compensation for accrued gains), the handling of pension entitlements acquired in the marriage as well as spousal and child support. In addition, in many cases, the settlement of jointly acquired real estate and company shares is necessary.
We are happy to work on complex legal issues and are not afraid of cross-border cases, especially with respect to the United States and Canada.
Herr Rechtsanwalt Dr. Hanke arbeitet seit vielen Jahren überwiegend im Bereich des Familienrechts und hat erfolgreich Mandanten/innen in fast allen denkbaren familienrechtlichen Konstellationen begleitet und vertreten. Unterstützt wird Rechtsanwalt Dr. Hanke im Familienrecht von Rechtsanwältin von Auer, die auf umfangreiche Erfahrungen im internationalen Privatrecht zurückgreifen kann.
In recent years, an extensive network of colleagues in the USA and Canada has been cultivated and expanded, enabling him to work in a spirit of mutual trust at a substantial professional level. In the USA and Canada, we are also available to you as experts for German family law. We can also look back on many years of experience in dealing with US and Canadian authorities and courts. Mr. Hanke had numerous appearances as expert witness in US Courts in the past.
In addition, we develop or negotiate for you preventive marriage contracts (pre- and post-nuptial agreements), partnership agreements or agreements on the consequences of divorce, also with reference to corporate law or real estate law. Here we are happy to act - depending on your needs - as a notary public or attorney to represent your interests.
Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt unserer Tätigkeit ist die vertragliche Gestaltung sog. “Familienpools” oder “Familiengesellschaften”. In enger Abstimmung mit spezialisierten Steuerberatern entwickeln wir maßgeschneiderte Lösungen, wenn es um die in vielerlei Hinsicht optimale Übertragung von Vermögen auf die nächste Generation geht.
