Pfleger und Vormünder: Beratung und Unterstützung beantragen

Guardians and caregivers can get help from the Youth Welfare Office.

The youth welfare office can provide advice on parenting and care issues and legal problems. If necessary, the Youth Welfare Office can point out suitable assistance. If necessary, the Youth Welfare Office can help with the drafting of letters.

The Youth Welfare Office can only represent the child in court proceedings if a separate guardianship has been applied for. A guardianship can be applied for to establish paternity and for maintenance matters.

If the person and the specific individual case are not yet known to the youth welfare office, proof of the appointment and proof of identity (e.g. identity card) is useful.

All further details should be clarified with the youth welfare office.

The right to advice and support is not subject to any conditions.

The entitlement exists from the time of appointment by the guardianship court.

There are no fees.

No special procedure is specified.
