Requesting information from the custody register
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe responsible youth welfare office keeps a custody register for children of unmarried parents. Entries are made in this custody register if:
- declarations of custody are made,
- custody has been awarded jointly in whole or in part on the basis of a final court decision
- custody has been wholly or partly withdrawn from the mother or transferred to the father on the basis of a final court decision.
A mother who is not married to the child's father can obtain a certificate stating that and to what extent she is the holder of parental custody of her child.
