Do you want to establish the legal father of your child? Do you want to enforce child support payments? Or would you like to know how much child support your child is entitled to? The staff at the Youth Welfare Office provide advice and support on all these questions and matters. If the advice and support services offered there are insufficient, a guardianship can be requested. The Youth Welfare Office will then advocate for the child's rights – including in court.

All these services and applications can now also be submitted digitally at https://www.beistandschaft-online.de/ . You can also schedule a consultation, apply for or terminate a legal guardianship online. Furthermore, you can establish paternity and enforce child support claims.
Child support services offer assistance to mothers and fathers, regardless of whether they are married and separated, divorced, or single. The youth welfare office supports families with questions concerning paternity and child support. It's important to know that child support is free of charge and does not restrict parental rights. A staff member from the youth welfare office is authorized to act on behalf of the child and take all necessary measures, such as claiming child support from the other parent or conducting legal proceedings.
