Friday, September 9 is Divorce Day 2022, a day on which you can obtain free information about divorce from specialised lawyers.
In this blog you can read everything you need to know about Divorce Day.
The first divorce was pronounced in the Netherlands on 15 September 1796. Since 2010, Divorce Day has been organised on the second Friday of September each year. This year this day will take place on Friday, September 10.
Divorce Day is an initiative of the professional association of family lawyers / divorce mediators (vFAS). All vFAS offices open their doors on this day to provide free advice on divorce. The ultimate goal is to improve the process of divorce so that (former) partners separate carefully and respectfully.
Divorce Day is for anyone who wants to know more about divorce in the Netherlands.
Come to us for assistance if:

A lawyer can help you arrange your divorce as well and as carefully as possible. This is important, whether to protect your children or maintain a relationship for the future, and often also for financial reasons. When you end your divorce in a respectful way, you can more easily resume your life afterwards.
An additional reason is that according to the law, only lawyers can apply for a divorce at the court.
