    I tried it with 

    $categories=get_categories(
    array( 'parent' => $cat->cat_ID )
);
foreach ($categories as $c) {
    echo '<li>'.$c->cat_name.'</li>';
}

    but i just get the parents.

    Thank you very much in advance

    Thank you very much, this is what i needed.
    Is it possible to output the childs as checkboxes for a form?

    Thank you very much in advance!!!

    $parent_cats = get_categories( array(
    'orderby' => 'name',
    'parent'  => 0,
	'hide_empty'=> false
) );

echo '<ul style="list-style-type: none;">';
foreach ( $parent_cats as $pcat ) {
	echo '<li><label>';
	echo $pcat->name;
	echo '</label></li>';
	
	$child_cats = get_categories( array(
    'orderby' => 'name',
    'parent'  => $pcat->term_id,
	'hide_empty'=> false
	) );
	if ($child_cats) {
		echo '<ul style="list-style-type: none;">';
		foreach ( $child_cats as $ccat ) {
			if ($ccat) {
				echo '<li><label>';
				echo '<input type="checkbox" name="'.$ccat->name.'" value="'.$ccat->term_id.'"> '.$ccat->name;
				echo '</label></li>';
			}
