He is therefore part of the Alimony Commission of the Association of Family and Inheritance Lawyers Divorce Mediators (vFAS). Dylan also deals with the settlement of complex prenuptial agreements and the division of the community of property. His previous experience as an inheritance lawyer comes in handy.
