From practice
Stay in the house
In a divorce, the partners wanted the wife and the children to stay in the house. However, her income was too low for an extra mortgage to buy the man out. After consulting, I examined whether a buy-back of partner alimony and the settlement of pension rights could offer a solution. This was beneficial for both partners, the man could buy another house without a maintenance obligation and could fully maintain his pension. The woman could take over the house.
The overvalue didn't have to be paid, but was offset by the payback partner alimony and his retirement.
Partner of Entrepreneur
An entrepreneur and his partner were with a mediator because of their divorce. The entrepreneur had affinity with figures, switched quickly and had close contact with his own accountant. The partner did not feel at home in the matter and engaged me to check the calculations, provide additional information and provide input for the mediation conversations. Thanks to a detailed proposal from our side, a tailor-made arrangement was agreed and the mediation could be completed.
Partners in imbalance
The mediator noted a lack of progress in making appointments. One of the partners had trouble with the divorce and was also less at home in the finances. The mediator advised this partner to hire his own advisor on the sidelines. I have supported this partner with additional information and with concrete advice. So that concrete agreements could be made during the follow-up talks with the mediator.
Financial relationship advice
A man called me for advice. He was divorced before and had a new relationship. In doing so, he wondered what things he could best arrange before moving in again. In a number of discussions, I spoke to both of them so that they could make informed financial arrangements. Then I put the appointments on paper, as input for the appointment with the notary about social contract, will and life testament.
