Law/Patents / Austria civil-law system

English translation:custody cases
Explanation:
After an extensive google search, I've come to the conclusion that this refers to custody cases, such as for children (in the case of divorce etc), mentally disabled etc.
I first thought we were talking legal aid here, too, but there are an awful lot of references for family law...

Fürsorge - in the sense of caring for another person, official 'carer'

hope it helps

Perhaps, this also includes social care cases (children being taken into care etc). I\'m not sure about the legal definitions here, and no doubt they are different in Austrian and English/US law anyway.

I had the same experience searching on the Internet but just couldn't credit such an apparently widely used term didn't appear in any dictionary or online glossary. Many thanks for your efforts.

Rechtsfürsorgeverfahren = legal assistance process


Explanation:
I think the term I propose addresses the the idea of the Rechtsfürsorgeverfahren.
In the US, this would be called "legal aid".
