The law to strengthen the rights of the biological, non-legal father (VätRStG) is a federal law of the Federal Republic of Germany .
The law of July 4, 2013 was passed by the Bundestag on April 26, 2013 and promulgated on July 12, 2013. It arose from an initiative of the federal government and came into force on July 13, 2013.
The law serves to implement two decisions of the ECHR of December 21, 2010 and of September 15, 2011.
While an already existing close relationship between the child and the biological father was decisive for the granting of access rights, the new regulation with regard to the access rights to be granted to the biological father is linked to a demonstrated sustained interest of the biological father, subject to the condition that contact is useful for the child's welfare Father to his child. Furthermore, this law gives the biological father a right to information about the child's personal circumstances. A prerequisite for this right is an existing legitimate interest and the child's best interests that do not conflict.
