Re: YouTube Premium

This is actually quite normal...emm...these days. I use a few addons to block YouTube ads through Firefox. As expected, the YouTube IT experts figured work-rounds to interrupt the addons. But then ad blocking addon or app folk found ways to counter YouTube and the ads were blocked again. See where t...

Re: End of three years of Aufenthaltstitel...what would be the next step

family reunion based Aufenthaltstitel Never heard that phrase used. Perhaps you meant family union based? Regardless, AFAIR there are two types of Aufenthaltstitel. Married (union) and unmarried. Married is the fastest route to Niederlassungserlaubnis - three years. If one is single, or becomes so ...

Re: Child Support for adult child

Mulder, to give yourself a wee peace of mind, I recommend having a chat with a lawyer. One could seek the thoughts of the Jugendamt.... but over the decades I've grown quite short with beamten. A lawyer will put this to a proper rest.

Re: Child Support for adult child

I had this issue a couple of year ago in dealing with my youngest who will be 30 this year. After her Arbitur, over a decade ago, she decided to be an Au Pair in Italy. My ex and I had a chat and child support ended. This was also supported by the Jugendamt. Once her education ended I was no longer ...

Re: used car - buy and sell

If you and the buyer have reached an agreement on the sale of your car, the buyer will obtain temporary license plates from their rathaus. Even if you and the buyer live in the same town or Landeskreis, do not let them drive away with your plates on the car. Too many horror stories I have heard over...

Re: German election February 2025

Where did the close to 20% result of AfD come from? The majority is the former DDR area and oddly a single Landkreis in RP between Mannheim and Saarbrücken. I spoke with a number of people here in the Oberallgäu. I was rather surprised at the number of those who planned (this was the last few weeks...

Re: Rental car insurance?

https://www.mietfahrzeugversicherung.com/ https://carassure.de/ Might help. When I had my Amex Card, rental car insurance was included so long as I used the card to pay. Unsure if this would suit you. I believe ADAC also has insurance covering car hires. If they offer a yearly plan, I can't say.

If it comes all the way down it may damage our house. Can I insist that he takes the tree down? Speak with your neighbour and have a witne...

Gutscheinen, Bookkeeping and Taxes

Right, this is an odd one.... to me. I've been a member of the local business club for a time now. I'm quite passive in the club as I simply have neither the time nor desire to attend the odd meeting. Unbeknownst to me, seems we have Gutscheinen. I've heard FA on these, until a few weeks back when I...
