Landeshauptstadt Schwerin - Fachgruppe Amtsvormundschaften, Beistandschaften, Beurkundungen, Unterhaltsvorschuss (ABBU)

The specialist group for official guardianship, guardianships, notarizations and advance maintenance payments offers caring parents the opportunity to obtain advice on the topics of maintenance and paternity establishment. For court proceedings to establish paternity or to determine maintenance claims, a guardianship can be set up for the minor children. Adults are entitled to advice on any maintenance claims up to the age of 21. It is also possible to have deeds of paternity, custody and maintenance claims recorded.


Do you need a negative certificate as proof of sole custody? You can obtain this certificate here. Please apply for the certificate online via the service account of the state capital Schwerin.


Single parents also have the option of applying for benefits under the Maintenance Advance Act.
