OUR LAW FIRM

^{Your specialist law firm for migration and family law}

Migration law

Migration law regulates the requirements for legal and permanent residence in Germany. The focus is on the residence permit, which can be issued for various reasons — such as work, study, research or family reunification. It also deals with the consolidation of residence, for example through a settlement permit or naturalization. At the same time, it includes negative aspects such as the rejection of applications, expulsions or deportations.

Family law

We advise and represent you in all family law issues relating to marriage, kinship and civil partnership — including in court, if necessary. Migration often affects foreign legal systems, particularly in international family law, where habitual residence is decisive. We will explain the consequences for divorce, maintenance and property law and assist you with marriage contracts and choice of law agreements. Dr. Yerlikaya-Manzel offers you specialist legal assistance with divorce, pension settlement, division of assets, maintenance, custody and handling.

With her many years of experience and specialization in family law, Dr. Yerlikaya-Manzel will be happy to advise and assist you at any time.

German-Turkish family law

When it comes to family law issues relating to Turkey, it is always carefully examined which law is applicable — for example in the case of divorce, maintenance or division of assets. As an experienced specialist lawyer, Dr. Yerlikaya-Manzel offers you competent advice on Turkish family law and, together with a reliable team in Turkey, supports you in enforcing your claims.

Turkish law

Turkish law is becoming increasingly important in Germany — for example when it comes to the recognition of German divorces in Turkey, hereditary matters or business start-ups. The close personal and economic ties between Germany and Turkey lead to complex legal issues. Together with our partners in Turkey, we support you in family, inheritance, commercial, corporate and civil law and represent your interests in cross-border legal transactions.
