No to all of the above. The only thing I would disown my child for is if he or she were to abstain from voting.

Let me clarify my position on drug use. If my child were a reacreational user, I would b very very angry, but if was caught by addiction, I'd have to bendover to paternal love and helpout.

Hey, it's impossible to legally do that in Germany anyways.

Yea same here actually, lest on very specific circumstances, like if your heir tries to murder you, or sleeps with your wife.

Wait, let me get this straight - it's illegal in Germany and Portugal to cut your kid out of your will(at any age, or just when they are a minor)?

Any age. I don't know about Germany, but here it's one of the many ignobile legacies of the Code Napoleon.

Ok, here's the full list of exceptions. there are actually two differnet situations: disowning and indignity. First, I ahve to explian that according to Portuguese law, tehre are two classes of heirs. Legitimate heirs(ascendants, descendants and spouse), and all others. Legitimate heirs are always entitled to a certain portion of the assets of the deceased. Ascendants only when there are neither spose nor descendants.
Anyways, indignity applies automaticaly, weather the person in question ahs amde a will or not, and happens in the following cases:
-Conviction, as author or acomplice, of murder or atempted murder against the author of the inheritance, his descendants, ascendants, spose, adoptants or adoptees.
--Conviction for slander of false witness against said persons, refring to a crime for which penalty is more than 2 years of prison.
--Pratice of acts against the freedom to will, like cohercing the person writing the will.
--Practice of acts against the will, like destroying it.
Practice of said crimes ahs to be before the death of the deceased. The author of the will can, however, rehabilitate the ingin and make him his heiar again.

Now, disinheritance is not automatical, bu can be made expressely by will, for legitimate heirs, if any of the following conditions are met:
--THe potential heir was convicted of an intentional crime against the person, property or honor of the author of the will, his spouse, ascendants, descenants, adoptants or adoptees, as long as said crime is punished by a sentence of moe than 6 months of prison.
--Has been convicted of slander of false witness against said persons;
--refues to supply food (i dont know if this is extended to include basic living needs) to the author of the will or his spouse, without just cause, knowing of their situation.
