Description

It is a good tradition that every two years experts from the various fields of family law come together to exchange experiences. At least that was the case until 2020, when the Corona pandemic interrupted all regular proceedings. The 2021 meeting was therefore cancelled due to the pandemic, and we are all the more pleased that we are meeting again this year to discuss together the major and minor issues of family law. The topics have not become fewer during the past four years, quite the contrary.
