«Hauptbezugsperson»: What role the argument plays in the holiday decision

In its reasoning, the court continues to refer to the mother as the primary caregiver and points out that, according to the file, the father has not spent more than one week at a time with the child since the separation.

What the files show

In its reasoning, the court continues to describe the mother as the primary caregiver and points out that, according to the file, the father has not spent more than a week at a time with the child since the separation. The decision bases its best‑interests assessment, among other things, on the finding that, according to the file, the father has not spent more than a week at a time with the child since the separation.

Application and opposing position

For this aspect, no standalone additional request is decisive; the analysis compares the documented state of the files with the result.

The decision of 7 September 2026 assigns the first autumn holiday week from 5 to 11 October to the father.

“Primary contact person”

Checkpoint

It is not a question whether the child-welfare criteria mentioned are admissible in the abstract, but how concretely and completely their factual basis is demonstrated in the record before the court.

LawReport classification

Child welfare concepts such as stability, continuity and primary caregiver must remain tied to the specific case file. The decision uses these criteria to justify the division of vacation time. LawReport documents the use of these criteria without drawing a general evaluation of a parent from them.

What does not follow from this

The documented proceedings substantiate the aforementioned motions, statements and procedural steps. They do not, without more, establish personal motives, bias, abuse of law or a general unlawfulness. Such further assessments would require additional legal and factual grounds.
