Divorce is one of the most profound events in a person's life. Countless questions arise: How do I make the best arrangements for my children? Can I continue to run my own business after the divorce? What will happen to the house? And if you live abroad or are married under a prenuptial agreement, the complexity can be even more.
At Delissen Martens, we understand how emotional and complicated this phase can be. Our specialized family law attorneys are here to guide you, both legally and emotionally, through every step of the process.
There are several situations in which a family law attorney may be able to assist you. If children are involved, an attorney can help you set up a parenting plan and child support agreements. If you own a business, specialized advice is needed to ensure the continuity of your business. We can also provide appropriate legal assistance if you are dealing with international issues, such as residency abroad.
Every divorce is unique and at Delissen Martens we offer three routes tailored to your situation:
Mediation
This is a calm and constructive way to come to an agreement. Our mediator will guide you and your ex-partner through the discussions, focusing on finding solutions together. This avoids lengthy court proceedings and provides a sustainable basis for the future, especially if there are children involved.
Divorce Counseling
Don't feel comfortable without your own lawyer at the table? In a Consultation Divorce you will be assisted by your own lawyer, while the other party will also be represented by a lawyer. Together with a coach, discussions are held in an open atmosphere with the aim of finding solutions without having to go to court.
Unilateral divorce through the court
In some cases, mediation is not an option and the divorce must go to court. We will ensure that you are carefully prepared and that your interests are best represented, whether it is property division, child custody or other complex issues.
Want to know which route is best for your situation? Contact us without obligation to find out how we can guide you through this challenging process.
Een echtscheiding is in sommige gevallen onvermijdelijk. Als deze belangrijke beslissing eenmaal is genomen, zullen u en uw partner een aantal keuzes moeten maken. Een echtscheiding in goed overleg is in bijna alle gevallen aan te raden. Mediation houdt in dat onder begeleiding van een bemiddelaar afspraken worden gemaakt, welke vervolgens door de rechter worden vastgelegd. Mediation is niet alleen financieel voordeliger, het kost ook minder tijd dan een procedure. Ook de uitkomst is vaak bevredigender, omdat maatwerk geleverd kan worden. Bovendien wordt bij mediation aandacht besteed aan de emotionele aspecten van de echtscheiding.
Als mediation geen optie is, is een procedure onvermijdelijk. Een procedure kost niet alleen meer geld, het kost ook veel tijd. Bovendien ligt een vechtscheiding op de loer, met alle negatieve gevolgen van dien..

Today, on International Parents' Day, my blog pays tribute to parents worldwide for the great efforts they make in the interests of their children.

On Rijksoverheid, it is stated that from 1 January 2023, the bill on recognition and joint custody linked, will come into force.
