Top lawyers like Astrid Wagner are now supporting the mother of triplets Liane, whose children were briefly taken away from child and youth welfare.
“This case needs to be thoroughly investigated and completely solved. Especially since a mother, regardless of her status, has a fundamental right to her children. This also applies to us lawyers. “We are in absolute solidarity with Liane,” says top lawyer Astrid Wagner indignantly. As reported, it was only after an outcry from the public that the court ordered that lawyer colleague Liane Hirschbrich take the babies taken away by the Vienna Youth Welfare Office back into her care.Social problemWagner also points out a general social problem on this occasion. It is still not made easier for women in Austria to reconcile motherhood and a career: “We lawyers are no exception when it comes to negotiations – quite the opposite!”
