Planning to emigrate and the youth welfare office is involved? Find out what rights you have and how you can successfully manage the process.
Are you planning to emigrate with your child, and the youth welfare office is involved? Many parents face the question of what rights and obligations they have. The youth welfare office plays an important role in such cases, but its powers are limited. We at GoMovin understand your situation and offer you comprehensive advice to ensure the moving process runs as smoothly as possible. Our goal is to assist you in planning and executing your international move, taking into account all legal and social aspects.
The youth welfare office primarily has an advisory function. It is intended to ensure that emigration is in the best interests of the child. The staff of the youth welfare office make an assessment of the situation based on facts but also includes interpretations. It's important to know that the youth welfare office cannot simply prevent your emigration as long as the child's welfare is not endangered. The decision of the family court, as in the case of a mother who was allowed to emigrate to Finland with her children, shows that the child's perspective and the stability of the new environment are crucial.
The welfare of the child is always the priority. This means that the court primarily focuses on what is best for the child when making an emigration decision. The wishes of the child are also considered, especially when they are older (from around 10 years). Additionally, it is checked whether a stable situation is provided in the new environment, for example through a stable partnership, a secure job, and a good school. GoMovin supports you in presenting all these aspects transparently to the youth welfare office and, if necessary, to the family court.
Custody secures relocation: Knowing rights and obligations
Custody plays a central role when it comes to moving abroad with a child. The basic rule is: if you have sole custody, you also have the right to determine your child's place of residence. However, this does not mean you have no obligations. Even in this case, the youth welfare office can be involved, especially if there are concerns regarding the child's welfare. The other parent has the opportunity to legally challenge the right to determine the child's residence.
With joint custody, the consent of both parents is required if you wish to move abroad with your child. Without this consent, a legal dispute may arise. The family court will then decide in the best interest of the child. Moving without the other parent's consent can even have criminal consequences, such as child abduction. It is, therefore, advisable to seek discussions early on and, if necessary, find an amicable solution. GoMovin can help you moderate these discussions and reach an agreement acceptable to all parties involved.
To avoid difficulties, you should inform yourself early about your rights and obligations. A custody agreement can help prevent disputes. In the event of a legal dispute, various factors are considered, such as the child's relationship with each parent, visitation arrangements, the planning of the move, living conditions in the destination country, social ties, and development opportunities. The final decision is always based on a comprehensive assessment of the child's welfare. We support you in planning and organising your move so that you can present all necessary documents and evidence.
Youth Welfare Office Intervention: Emigration not always blocked
The Youth Welfare Office cannot prevent emigration in every case. An intervention generally only occurs if there is a risk to the child's welfare or if there is suspicion of child abduction. This could be the case, for example, if the emigration is considered an 'attempt to flee' to avoid parental responsibility, or if the living conditions in the destination country are unclear. According to gutefrage.net, the Youth Welfare Office cannot stop emigration unless there are serious reasons.
The taking into care is a temporary protective measure that the Youth Welfare Office can take if there is an acute risk to the child. This measure can be reviewed by a court. The aim is to clarify the situation and ensure the child's welfare. It's important to emphasise that taking into care is considered only as a last resort. If you fear that the Youth Welfare Office plans to take your child into care, you should seek legal assistance immediately.
It's important to understand that the decisions of the Youth Welfare Office are based not only on facts but also on interpretations and assessments. Therefore, it is advisable to communicate openly and transparently with the Youth Welfare Office from the beginning. Show your willingness to cooperate and present your emigration plans in detail. GoMovin supports you in developing a convincing argument and providing all necessary evidence to dispel the Youth Welfare Office's concerns.
Successful Emigration: Strategic Planning Pays Off
A successful relocation with a child requires careful and strategic planning. This includes open communication with the youth welfare office. Present your relocation plans transparently and demonstrate that you are considering your child's situation. Prove that you have a secure livelihood in the destination country, for example, through an employment contract, accommodation, and health insurance. Involve your child in the planning and take their wishes and needs into account.
Avoid misunderstandings and escalations by signalling willingness to cooperate. Seek professional advice, such as from a lawyer or family counsellor. Document all steps and agreements to provide evidence in case of a dispute. According to Perspektive Ausland, the youth welfare office plays an advisory role and can mediate in conflicts between parents.
GoMovin supports you in the entire planning and organisation of your relocation. We help you compile all the necessary documents, coordinate communication with the authorities, and prepare your child's integration in the destination country. With our experience and global network, we ensure that your move is smooth and stress-free. Our relocation assistance offers you comprehensive support in all phases of the move.
Consider legal aspects: Maintenance obligations abroad
A legal dispute with the youth welfare office or the other parent can be very stressful. In such a case, it is advisable to have legal representation. Prepare thoroughly for the proceedings by obtaining expert opinions and gathering witness statements. Present the positive aspects of emigration for your child and demonstrate that you are considering their needs.
The child maintenance is also an important aspect that must be considered when emigrating. It must be determined which court has jurisdiction and which law applies. If necessary, maintenance must be adjusted to the cost of living in the destination country. The Hasselbach Law Firm emphasises that in international maintenance cases, the responsible court and applicable law must be established. GoMovin supports you in clarifying these questions and helps you enforce your maintenance claims abroad.
It is important to know that the amount of child maintenance may be based on the living costs in the respective country. This is often determined using statistics such as the country grouping or EU price level statistics. The aim is to ensure that the child's needs are adequately met without leading to unjust enrichment. Our experts are happy to advise you on all financial aspects of your emigration.
Carrying out deregistration correctly: Simplifying administrative procedures
Correctly deregistering your child in Germany is an important step when emigrating. Provide a new address abroad when deregistering to avoid issues with the authorities. Be sure to observe the registration requirements in the destination country. According to Vagabundenliebe, deregistering a child without providing a new address can raise questions and alert the youth welfare office.
The entitlement to child benefit and other social benefits may cease when emigrating. Therefore, make sure to inform yourself in good time at the relevant offices and observe the respective country-specific regulations. It is advisable to complete all necessary formalities in advance to avoid unnecessary stress.
GoMovin supports you with all administrative tasks related to your emigration. We help you fill in the necessary forms, coordinate communication with the authorities, and meet all deadlines. With our support, you can relax and focus on preparing for your new life abroad. Our services also include advice on the legal aspects of emigration.
Mastering Cultural Differences: Easing Integration
Adapting to new living conditions in the destination country can be a challenge for children. It is important to support them in their integration, for example through language courses, participation in local clubs, and building a social network. Familiarise yourself with the school system and cultural practices in the destination country to ease your child's transition.
Also consider the child and youth protection in the destination country. Acquaint yourself with local laws and customs to avoid conflicts with authorities. Be aware of cultural differences in parenting and adjust your behaviour accordingly. For instance, some countries have stricter rules regarding corporal punishment or supervision obligations.
GoMovin offers you comprehensive information and support for integration in your new home country. We connect you with local experts and organisations that can assist you with finding housing, job searching, and integrating your family. Our goal is to make starting a new life as easy as possible for you. We also provide information on emigration destinations in Europe.
Emigrating with a Child: Weighing Opportunities and Risks
Emigrating with a child is a carefully considered decision that should be well-prepared. Consider all legal, financial, and social aspects, and involve all parties in the planning. Prioritise the child's well-being and ensure that emigration becomes a positive experience for your child.
Emigration offers children new perspectives and development opportunities. They can learn a new language, get to know a different culture, and broaden their horizons. At the same time, emigration also presents challenges, such as integration and adaptation. It can also lead to the loss of social ties, especially when friends and family remain in the old homeland.
