Residence model

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The residence model (from the Latin residere = to settle down, to live) is the predominantly practiced regulation in access law , according to which children together are only cared for by one parent - generally the mother - after a separation / divorce. Even after their parents separated, these children only have one “ habitual place of residence ” and “center of life”.

The parent with whom the child does not usually stay has, provided there are no compelling reasons to the contrary (e.g. abuse, mistreatment ), a time-limited right of contact or a duty of contact .

The parity model or change model is the alternative to the residence model. Here the child is 30% or more with each parent.

Extrajudicial parental agreements or court judgments in contact proceedings usually have contact on every other weekend, which then usually lasts from Friday afternoon after school / kindergarten to Sunday 6:00 pm; sometimes visits are only allowed from Saturday noon. Furthermore, it is often ordered that the child spends a longer period of time together with the parent who has access rights during the holidays.

Opponents of the residence model, who advocate a parity model , object that such contacts are too few to do justice to the postulate contained in the law on the procedure in family matters and in matters of voluntary jurisdiction that custody should continue to be exercised jointly even after separation . They also criticize the fact that in the residence model one parent would receive quasi sole power and therefore speak of a dominance model (from Latin: dominare = to be master, to rule).
