Read more about this lawyerAre you breaking up? Our mediators will be happy to help you.
We can help and advise you on divorce, dissolution of registered partnership, ending cohabitation, division of assets, custody and access calculating spousal and child maintenance and other matters related to family law.
Under the guidance of one of our mediators, you will engage in joint discussions with the aim of reaching agreements. These agreements are then incorporated by the mediator into a divorce covenant and/or parenting plan. If necessary, the mediator then submits these documents to the court. As our mediators are also lawyers, there is no need to go to another office for this step.
The international aspects of divorce can be an additional complicating factor in the already complicated and arduous divorce process. First, it must always be established which aspects can be settled in the Netherlands and which cannot. The fact that the divorce can be settled in the Netherlands does not always mean that it will be settled in accordance with Dutch law. We have mediators with extensive experience in international divorces.

Our Family & Inheritance section is one of the largest in the Netherlands. Our mediators are highly qualified and all are members of the VFAS (Association of Family & Inheritance Lawyers Divorce Mediators). We are committed and have an eye for the, often large, financial and emotional stakes.
