Divorce lawyers in Munich - recommendations

Anybody have any experience with divorce here in Germany?

If so, can you recommend any lawyers who speak English?

Best way to go is the Embassy or Consulate. But if not I can highly recommend you RAe Dr. Rupprecht und Kollegen, Nördliche Auffahrtsallee 19, 80638 München, Phone: 089/159145-0. Very good lawyers and not too expensive. They all speak english (I guess).

Try the list of English-speaking lawyers in Munich.

Thanks, however she was hoping for a personal recommendation, if possible, instead of starting from scratch.

My lawyer was Antonio Campanella (Sendlinger Str. 13, 80331;
089 547191-0; kanzlei@ra-campanella.de). Hers was Jutta Bartling (Sonnenstrasse 32, 80331; 089-260 56 39). Mine was good and quite fair with me but hers did, I think, a better job. I was screwed royally by a pre-nup and certain other circumstances. Bartling is well-known for feminist stuff and specialises/d in domestic violence.

she should file in the US, not in germany!

Hello TTers, after a long time out in the prairie. Some of you may remember me, I haven't posted that often...
Right now I am taking the plunge and getting divorced. I am in dire need of a good, internationallly experienced, divorce lawyer (preferrably American/German) here in Munich, who can advise my husband and me on anything and everything (we have three kids, property, you name it, we need advice on it!) I have checked the forum for past links etc, but if anybody has any current input I would greatly appreciate it. Just PM me anytime. Thanks for your help...

Oh, man, I'm sorry. You're in for a hard time ahead. You have my sympathy. Divorce is hell.
I think most lawyers will refuse to represent you both - though it does sound like a reasonable way to avoid conflict. I'm not even sure it's allowed. On the other hand, your separate lawyers will usually try to instigate a War of the Roses type brawl over bullshit which you must try to hinder by dealing with your ex directly as much as possible.
Go to the US embassy for a list of lawyers. My divorce is too long ago now, and I wouldn't really recommend the lawyyer I used anyway.

Is this an amicable divorce? It seems so from the way you write it. If not, I can give you the name of my ex-wife's lawyer who made it possible for my ex- to completely ruin me and take all the money.

woof.

Thanks, Woof...it's been very amicable up until now, I just don't want to make any mistakes I might regret later and get everything down in black and white so that both worlds are happy...

Mad,

First things first. Where was the marriage entered into?

that graphic says divorce quick and cheap in Germany... what is the definition of quick and cheap?

Up until now, if you are in agreement with your spouse, everything is easy, quick, undirty and maybe cheap (I don' t know yet, for sure!!!)

That table cannot be correct. Divorce is very expensive in Germany. Ask a few divorcees who are still paying off their debts. Surely it's cheaper and easier to get divorced in the States.

This month's issue of Munich Found has an article on divorce in Germany. No suggestions of lawyer names, just the procedure one needs to go through.
