Welcome to my family law boutique on the outskirts of Frankfurt am Main!

I have been advising exclusively in family law since 2014. In the entire Rhine-Main area. In German and English. With a passion for carefully thought out, sustainable solutions. With extensive experience and high standards based on ten years of previous work as a business lawyer. With respect and sensitivity for your personal situation. So that life continues well for you. Also for your children. War of the Roses is not my thing. Careful legal analysis, creative solutions and skilful negotiation are more my strong points. In the office or in the courtroom.

What sets me apart

I combine economic and financial know-how as well as a strong service orientation with comprehensive expertise in family law and many years of mediation practice. I am just as experienced in negotiating complex contracts as I am in listening to my clients and defusing family conflicts.

    • Consensual solutions instead of a War of the Roses, a 90% agreement rate, and many years of mediation experience
    • Proven qualification as a specialist lawyer in family law
    • Professional and personal support all the way through the family crisis
    • Many years of professional experience in the international financial industry
    • Based in Königstein since 2014, well connected in the Rhine-Main area
    • Discreet and targeted attention to your matter
    • Advice and representation in English for international clients

    What my clients say

    ‘Dr Marx supported me at a time in my life when I was going through a lot of personal and professional changes. She not only handled my divorce proceedings, but also ensured that a good arrangement could be found for our children. She reacted very flexibly to the many changes of residence that occurred in our family during this time and quickly arranged the necessary legal steps. I felt very well supported by Dr Marx, not only professionally but also personally, during the sometimes very emotional two years until the final divorce decree. And today I am very happy with the outcome.’

    Dr E. F., mother of four, Frankfurt am Main/Balearic Islands

    ‘Dr Marx was recommended to me by another lawyer when my husband and I separated shortly after the birth of our daughter. I am very glad that Dr Marx was at my side during this difficult time. She not only represented me very well as a lawyer, but also gave me many practical tips that have made my everyday life as a single mother easier. When things got too much for me, she always kept a cool head. She is a very nice, professional, competent, authentic and empathetic lawyer. Today I have a good relationship with my ex-husband, and our daughter is growing up happily with both parents. Thank you, Dr Marx.’

    Ms M. R., mother of one child, Königstein

    ‘I sought out Dr Marx shortly after learning about my ex-wife’s long-standing affair with her boss. Dr Marx helped me to continue to be there for my two daughters, despite all my anger and hurt pride. In concrete terms, this meant maintaining the familiar home environment for them and securing the financial reserves for a good education. Dr Marx, with her calm and level-headed manner and great sense of humour, repeatedly managed to ground my hurt feelings and focus on the girls, so that I was eventually able to accept the personal and financial consequences of the separation and divorce for myself. Both my daughters still live with me today. Nothing else was ever an option for them.’

    Mr J. S., self-employed entrepreneur, father of two daughters, Kelkheim

    ‘Dr Marx represented me in a custody matter regarding my son. I was extremely satisfied with her work. Dr Marx is a very competent and personable lawyer, very quick-witted, reliable, with in-depth knowledge of the law and years of experience. Dr Marx provided me with really good advice in what was an extremely difficult and emotionally fraught process for me. She explained the legal concepts to me in a way I could understand and took a lot of time to understand my situation and that of my son. We discussed all legal options in detail. Dr Marx always answered my questions promptly and thoroughly. Her empathetic nature helped me to keep a clear head during this difficult time. Some of the anecdotes we shared about our children helped me to even see the funny side of the situation. I found that very pleasant and good for the soul.’

    Ms J. E., management assistant, Odenwald

    ‘Dr Marx represented me in a child custody case with international implications. The conflict included aspects of protection against violence (contact ban) and the family law issues of supervised access and maintenance. Dr Marx also represented me in the dissolution of the joint apartment, the bank account and the distribution of the household effects. She is knowledgeable, experienced and steadfast in court. Her pragmatic approach solves problems efficiently and avoids unnecessary court proceedings. Her work was excellent at all levels. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer in this complicated case. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Marx for family law matters at every stage of the proceedings.’

    Ms C. M., lawyer, Bad Soden am Taunus / Norway

    ‘Dr Marx provided me with comprehensive and highly competent advice throughout my divorce proceedings. Not only did my personal situation have to be taken into account, but also a business relationship in the form of a medical practice. I always felt that I was receiving comprehensive and excellent professional advice. Despite the complexity, a solution for the entire construct was found in a timely manner.

    I particularly appreciate the fact that Dr Marx took a very goal-oriented approach, brought the other side back down to earth with professionalism, objectivity and persistence, and did not stir up any disputes.’

    Doctor, Königstein

    ‘Dr Marx successfully represented me in an unfortunately unpleasant family matter a few years ago. I felt that I was in very good hands with her during this difficult period in my life. She worked on the case very intensively and thoroughly and with full commitment. She also was practically always available. I also particularly remember her very clear and legally excellent written submissions to the court. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her once again.’

    Mr N.R., employee of the European Central Bank

    ‘I would like to share my extremely positive experience with Dr Marx, who represented me in my divorce. From the outset, I was impressed by her extensive expertise in family law and her ability to explain complex legal issues to me in an understandable way.

    Dr Marx always displayed a high level of professionalism and empathy. She took time to understand my concerns and problems and developed a strategy tailored to my individual needs. Her calm and level-headed manner helped me to keep a clear head even in emotionally stressful moments. I would particularly like to emphasize her commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Thanks to her support, we were able to find a fair and amicable solution that took into account both my interests and those of my ex-partner.

    Communication with Dr Marx was transparent and prompt. She was always available and answered my questions patiently and in detail. I felt very well looked after and supported by Dr Marx! I can unreservedly recommend Dr Marx and am very grateful to her for her excellent work.’

    Mr R. D., Master Electrician, Dieburg/Denmark
