An international divorce often involves complex legal issues, especially when different nationalities are involved or property is located in several countries. At Delissen Martens, we understand how far-reaching these situations can be and offer you the expertise to achieve a clear and fair settlement.
International division of marital property
The division of marital property is a crucial part of any divorce. However, an international divorce brings additional complications. Which law applies? Do I need to consider foreign matrimonial property laws? In many cases, different rules apply depending on the countries involved, and it may be necessary to apply foreign law in the event of a divorce in the Netherlands.
We have extensive experience in international matrimonial property, division and settlement and can assist you in matters such as:
- Determining the applicable law for division or settlement in the context of a divorce: We assess which law applies to your matrimonial property and whether foreign law should be applied.
- Division of foreign assets: Do you have property or assets abroad? We can help you to coordinate the distribution of your assets under both Dutch and foreign law. If necessary, we can contact a local foreign family law specialist.
- Prenuptial agreements and settlements: We advise on the drafting of prenuptial agreements, both national and international. We can also assist you in court proceedings concerning the settlement of prenuptial agreements or community property.
