What does a custody judgment involve?

Custody includes the care and support of minor children. The aim of the court decision on custody (e.g. sole or shared custody) is to ensure the child’s welfare. As custody involves taking important decisions on education, medical issues or legal transactions etc., custody is of considerable importance for the child’s development.

Certified translation of your custody order

A certified translation of your custody judgment is a careful and accurate translation of the language of your document into the desired target language (e.g. German) by a translator sworn in at a German court. The translator confirms the accuracy and completeness of the translation in relation to the original with their stamp and notarization. A copy of the original document is also usually attached to the certified translation. For the translation we only need a copy (scan or photo) of your document.
