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.

Inobhutnahme (protective care): §42(2) SGB VIII requires that children promptly get a chance to notify someone they trust. Protection must include connection. https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/sgb_8/__42.html #Jugendamt #ChildrensRights

When a child refuses contact, which explanations were tested? Research should distinguish fear, conflict and undue influence—not replace assessment with a label. #FamilyJustice #ChildrensRights

Child health is child rights. #ChildHealthDay #ChildrensRights
