Zeitschrift für Kindschaftsrecht und Jugendhilfe

The Zeitschrift für Kindschaftsrecht und Jugendhilfe (abbreviated ZKJ) is a German-language specialist legal journal covering child-relationship law, youth-welfare law and family law. It is edited by Reguvis in association with the Bundeskonferenz für Erziehungsberatung e.V. (bke), the federal conference on educational counselling, and is published by Bundesanzeiger Verlag in Cologne. The journal first appeared in 2006, when it was created by merging two older titles: the Zentralblatt für Jugendrecht (ISSN 0176-6449) and Kindschaftsrechtliche Praxis (ISSN 1434-8330). The year 2006 is treated as its first volume, although through the Zentralblatt its editorial tradition reaches back to 1909. Its subscription price stood at €178.00 per year in 2023. The journal addresses practitioners and scholars in youth welfare, family law and related counselling professions. Its subject areas include youth-welfare law (Jugendhilferecht), child care, help for upbringing (Hilfen zur Erziehung), educational counselling, residential care and foster children, the governance and procedures of youth welfare, mediation, contact rights (Umgangsrecht), custody (Sorgerecht), maintenance law (Unterhaltsrecht), legal guardianship (Beistandschaft), procedural guardianship (Verfahrenspflegschaft) and family-court procedure. It is listed among the journals in family law. As a professional journal rather than a consumer product, the ZKJ serves the German legal and social-work market. It is published under the Bundesanzeiger Verlag imprint, with Reguvis acting as editor in cooperation with the bke. The publication is active and continues to appear regularly.
