100% confidential & non-binding
Does your fight in court feel hopeless?
- The grueling burden of proof: You have to provide complete proof of the violence you experienced, while the father's words seem to carry more weight.
- Your protection is ignored: The court treats the "child's welfare" in isolation from your safety – as if a child could be safe with a terrified mother.
- Access rights before protection from violence: The father's right of access is placed above your and your child's protection from further psychological and physical violence.
- The accusation of "attachment intolerance": Your attempt to protect your child is used against you and interpreted as manipulation or "parental alienation."
- Power and control instead of the child's best interest: You realize that the father is using access rights as a weapon to continue exercising control over your life.
- The fear of losing your child: Your biggest worry is that your custody will be taken away because you are limiting contact with the abusive father to protect your child.
The system overlooks the violence. We bring it into focus.
Domestic violence is not a "private matter" or a "couple's conflict." It is the decisive factor for your child's well-being. While courts often ignore the bigger picture, we ensure that the dynamics of violence and control are exposed in the proceedings. We break the cycle of victim-blaming and make it clear: True child protection begins with protecting the mother.
