ALTERNATE RESIDENCE FOR CHILDREN

In the case of joint custody, the child can live with each parent in turn. This means that the child lives equally with both parents.

The parents can draw up written agreement that the child will be living with them alternately. The local social services can help you draw up such an agreement free of charge. The agreement must be approved by the social welfare committee of the municipality in order to be legally binding.

If the parents cannot agree on the living arrangements, the local social services offer cooperation meetings to resolve disagreements and find consensus on matters concerning the child. Cooperation meetings are free of charge and there is no registration or recording of the sessions in the social register. A prerequisite for cooperation meetings is that both parents want to participate.

If it is not possible for the parents to reach an agreement, the district court can ultimately decide on the housing issue. Before you go to the district court for such a decision, we recommend that you have a legal representative to represent you and safeguard your interests.
