Der unbestimmte Rechtsbegriff der Angelegenheit von erheblicher Bedeutung i.S.d. §§ 1628 S. 1, 1687 Abs. 1 S. 1 BGB

The undetermined legal term of “Angelegenheit von ­erheblicher Bedeutung” (a matter of considerable ­importance) is found in two key provisions on parental ­custody, in §§ 1628 and 1687 BGB. The question of when a matter of “considerable importance“ and when a matter of “everyday life” exists does arise regularly in practice for ­parents who live separately and have joint custody. The thesis therefore analyzes the undefined legal term of ­“Angelegenheit von erheblicher Bedeutung” and develops a concrete definition. The work combines dogmatic and practical approaches to the definition of the term and is therefore addressed equally to legal practitioners in family law scholarship and practice.
