- Under alternating custody, both parents care for the child for roughly half the time and must contribute to the child’s costs.
- The amount of support depends on care shares and financial capacity, while the calculation is simpler when each parent provides at least 46 percent of the care.
- In Paul and Maja’s case, a counselling service initially calculated monthly support of 2,100 francs, while the parents later agreed on about 1,700 francs; approval by the Kesb is still pending.
- A study commissioned by the Federal Office of Justice describes the calculation as complex and notes that differing methods for determining care shares can add to parental conflicts.
Today we are seeing more and more the situation in which a mother wants sole custody to receive more child support, or a father wants alternating custody to pay less.— Judge quoted in the article

- According to Hesse’s Interior Ministry, no contact has occurred between the children and parents since late-June placement in care.
- In February 2026, a family court provisionally withdrew the parents’ custody by interim order; the next hearing is scheduled for November.
- In early August, the parents were deported to Turkey and barred from re-entering Germany.
- The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees rejected the family’s asylum application; the rejection was finally upheld in late December 2025.
