Suppose you come to a mutual agreement with your partner yourself. That is of course the best! But even then the lawyer is the right person to help you arrange everything and get it well organized in a legal document. Don't you and your partner don't get along? I can help you streamline the difficult or even deadlocked consultations or get them going again. As a lawyer for you alone or as a lawyer-mediator, for you together. Which of the two is best depends on the situation. But one thing is certain: In consultation you will reach a solution; litigation usually only results in a decision by the judge. A decision is not a solution.
A divorce or other family law case is almost by definition complex. Dutch family law is highly regulated and constantly changing. Legally, of course, the story must always be right. Therefore, don't be tempted by supposedly cheap online divorces. You do not know who you are dealing with and whether the person involved has the right knowledge. They are usually not lawyers. Dutch inheritance law is also very complex and mistakes or wrong assumptions are easily made. Under the "Inheritance Law" section of my website you will find contributions on the main topics within this area of law. Whether it concerns the determination of a legitimacy claim, a bequest or gift, the interpretation of the last will or the settlement and distribution of the estate, for all these topics you can contact me for advice or, if necessary, assistance in proceedings.
I always try to take the path of consultation, but sometimes this is a road to nowhere. In that case the judge will have to come in to make a substantive decision about (for example) the children, maintenance, the house and the division. With over 30 years of practice, I have extensive experience, not only in giving advice, assisting clients in negotiations or in mediation, but also in conducting proceedings in the courts and the courts of appeal. In short, I am a truly experienced all-rounder!
