Divorce Day 2024

By Antoine de Werd

On Friday, September 13, 2024, it is Divorce Day, established by the Association of Family and Inheritance Law Attorneys and Divorce Mediators (vFAS). On this day, you can come to us for free personal advice.

This year marks the 14th Divorce Day, aimed at raising awareness of the need for proper guidance for partners who are separating. This time, Divorce Day focuses on cohabitants that want to seperate, but of course you can also come to us with your questions about divorce and mediation.

Cohabitants separating

The number of unmarried cohabitants in the Netherlands has significantly increased in recent years, and consequently, the number of cohabitants separating is also on the rise. What are the implications for cohabitants who are separating, and what needs to be arranged? Contact us to schedule an appointment for this coming Friday.

Lawyers and Mediators

Within our office, several lawyers are members of vFAS: the Association of Family and Inheritance Law Attorneys and Divorce Mediators. These lawyers have studied for an additional three years, making them specialists in the field of separation. They are not only attorneys but also accredited mediators. This means they possess all the legal knowledge required, while also being attuned to the emotional aspects of the separation process, ensuring that your divorce can be resolved smoothly and respectfully.

Free legal advice

Do you have questions about divorce, mediation, or separating after cohabitation? Or do you want advice regarding your personal situation? Contact us to schedule a free consultation for Friday, September 13, 2024.
