§1666a BGB: Separation is permitted only if danger cannot be averted otherwise, including through public support. Proportionality requires examining alternatives. #FamilyJustice #ChildrensRights
Child removals: a count is not an outcome. How often do children return safely home—and what support makes that possible? Publish outcomes, not just interventions. #Jugendamt #ChildrensRights
Shared care needs a workable daily routine: travel, school, safety and listening to children. Assess each child—not just the percentage of nights. #FamilyJustice #ChildrensRights
How should justice systems handle children in conflict with the law?
This study compares Indonesia and the Philippines through customary law and children's rights.

When a child resists contact, what explains it: fear, conflict, pressure or several factors? Research should test competing explanations, not start with a label. #FamilyJustice #ChildrensRights
Delay in a contact case? §155b FamFG allows a Beschleunigungsrüge (expedition complaint). The court must decide on it within one month—not finish the whole case.

Shared residence is not a scoreboard. Under §1697a BGB, the child’s best interests guide the court. Safety, relationships and practical realities matter—not a preset percentage. #FamilyJustice #ChildrensRights
What would make family-law reform meaningful for children: shorter waits, safer contact, or better support? Which measurable outcome should Germany put first? #FamilyCourtReform #ChildrensRights

§163 FamFG requires suitable experts in custody and contact proceedings. Qualifications matter; methods and conclusions must also withstand scrutiny. https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/famfg/__163.html #FamilyJustice #ChildrensRights

Child-removal statistics count interventions, not outcomes. What should Germany also measure: safety after placement, family support, or reunification? #Jugendamt #ChildrensRights

Brussels IIb, Article 21: children able to form views must have a genuine opportunity to express them. Courts must give due weight to age and maturity. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/1111/oj #BrusselsIIb #ChildrensRights
Shared residence: are we measuring nights, or how children actually fare? Safety, stable routines and the child’s views should guide the debate—not a percentage alone. #FamilyJustice #ChildrensRights
Contact proceedings: §155 FamFG says the court hearing should take place within one month of proceedings starting. This is not a deadline for the final ruling.
