HOW CAN WE HELP? 

OUR FAMILY LAW EXPERTISE

Divorce

A divorce is a significant event in a person’s life, which our family law lawyers understand all too well. But it is also the start of a new life. In order to make a fresh start, it is important to end the relationship responsibly. After all, without a good ending, there can be no good beginning.

Divorce mediation

We strongly favour mediation to resolve conflicts outside the courtroom. We do everything possible to help you and your former partner reach the same position so that you can continue your lives harmoniously based on mutual agreements. Litigation is often a lengthy process and can exaggerate differences. It takes time, energy and money, which we want to prevent. You often have it hard enough already.

International family law

A divorce can have international aspects, such as if you and your partner do not have the same nationality or if you got married abroad and then moved to live in the country where you were married (or elsewhere). It is also possible that you are working as an ex-pat in the Netherlands, or you are a Dutch ex-pat working abroad. If you are going to get a divorce, you want the legal side of it to be properly arranged. 

We consider all the emotions, the legal aspects and the interests of you and any children

Why should you contact our family law lawyers?

We advise on, mediate and litigate matters relating to marriage, cohabitation, divorce, births and deaths.

Our family law lawyers are known for their successful results. However, we are only really proud if you say afterwards that we have supported you well during a difficult episode in your life. After all, it’s about the person behind the case. That is why we work together with you to decide what the most desired outcome is.

Unfortunately, all too often, a case is not just an isolated matter. For example, the whole situation of your divorce can cause problems at work or with your company. We can ask the lawyers from our other departments (in this example, Employment Law and Corporate Law) for advice. This prevents the accumulation of problems.

WHAT ELSE CAN OUR FAMILY LAW LAWYERS DO FOR YOU?

Obviously, our family law lawyers don’t only handle divorce. You can also contact us for other family law matters, such as:

  • adoption
  • spousal support
  • receivership, administration and mentorship
  • custody and access
  • child protection measures
  • name law
  • establishment and denial of paternity
