Clear structure – instead of 37 open tabs in your head
Save yourself weeks of research and battling with legal texts: the guide takes you through every dealing with the authorities – with checklists, templates and a clear order of steps.
Experience the feeling of finally having everything under control
The guide replaces months of guesswork with clarity: you learn which steps to take when, with which documents – and what really counts legally.
Legally free your child from compulsory schooling
If you feel that the German school system no longer fits your child – the guide shows you legal ways to take your child out of school in a legally sound way.
When you research for hours but end up even more confused...
...it can feel like you're stuck in an endless maze .
You know you can find all the information on the internet. So you click your way through YouTube videos, blog articles, Facebook groups & legal texts.
You take notes. Save screenshots. Try to understand everything – from compulsory schooling and child benefit to tax liability and moving your residence.
And still: with every new insight come five new questions…
You're exhausted from "always searching".
And at the end of the day there's that nagging feeling: "What if I'm missing something important?"
You've thought several times: "Maybe we should forget about moving abroad after all..."
Because in the end you only want the best for your kids, but don't know if you're doing everything right.
The truth is: often it's not the move itself that becomes the problem, but small mistakes that become expensive later. In the form of reclaims, fines or problems with authorities.
That's why your move abroad feels like a roundabout with no exit, because you just aren't making progress.
Hi, we're
Kirstin & Martin.
Maybe today you're exactly where we were a few years ago.
The school stress.
The daily pressure to function.
The feeling of just existing as a family, but no longer living.
Back then it was clear to us: "It can't go on like this."
But when we thought about compulsory schooling, child benefit, deregistration and tax questions, there were more question marks than answers.
So we fought our own way through the jungle of information and authorities.
We spent a lot of time interpreting legal texts, comparing sections of law, searching through state portals and translating official jargon.
Reading was hard enough, but understanding was even harder.
Because most of the information was tangled up like a handmade rug. And too often it was unclear what was still up to date and what it actually meant for us as a family.
But we kept at it.
We made mistakes. Learned. And bit by bit found our own way.
That journey later became Tabula Rasa.
Today – 8 years later – we live with our 6 kids free, self‒determined and location‒independent.
And since then we've been able to support more than 1,000 families in leaving the German system safely and in a structured way.
What would we have needed back then?
Someone to take us by the hand who had walked the path themselves.
And that's exactly what we want to be for you today.
That's why we wrote all our legally sound knowledge, our experiences, our mistakes and learnings into an easy-to-understand guide...
So you finally get clarity on your relocation plan and can start a free, self‒determined life with a feeling of security .
Just imagine for a moment...
you lie in bed at night and instead of brooding, you feel safe because you have all the important steps on your radar.
you make decisions that are not only logical, but also feel right, because you know: "I'm doing the best for my child".
you no longer click through 37 tabs, but have all the information bundled in one place – reliable and well structured.
you go into your next conversation with the headteacher calmly, because you know the laws better than they do.
And while others are still saying: "That's far too complicated with kids", you're sitting in front of the MacBook with your family searching Skyscanner for flights to your first destination – well prepared instead of naive.
May we introduce?
