Your attorney or mediator for personal and family law
In our practice, we are familiar with all the different phases of life. We can provide services in matters of parental authority, marriage and divorce, alimony and inheritance. We know these subjects have personal and financial aspects, which can have a significant emotional impact and far-reaching consequences, and you can trust us with it all.
Personal and family law
Within personal- and family law, a divorce, the dissolution of a registered partnership or the termination of cohabitation can have far-reaching consequences and raise many big questions. How much will the spousal support or child alimony be? What should be included in the parenting plan? How can the financial assets be divided? How can you get custody of the children? Should the pension be equalized? When you get divorced, your home is also affected. After all, who gets to stay in the current home? And how do you find something new? What will happen to your company? We can guide you through these questions and more.
Please also contact us about changing your first name; this also falls within personal and family law .
Inheritance law
In addition to the emotional impact a death in the family entails, relatives often face various questions. Who will settle the legacy? How should the inheritance be divided? What about the legitimate portion? Should we accept the inheritance or can we refuse it? In addition, conflicts regularly arise about the settlement of the estate.
Our way of working
Whatever questions you have, we will provide you with clear and thorough legal advice so that you can make the right choices. Our attorneys can assist you in a proceeding or through mediation. You can also contact us for discreet and independent advice or a second opinion.
Over the years, we have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience within family law and inheritance law, both nationally and internationally. With our experience and expertise, we can assist you with the specific needs of your case.
Attorneys at law
As attorneys, we can assist you in various ways in a divorce or inheritance case. We can advise, mediate, negotiate and litigate in court to represent your interests. Before starting legal proceedings in court, we try to reach an arrangement with the other party.
Mediation
In mediation, an impartial mediator can assist when you have a difference of opinion or conflict about a legal matter. This can be a conflict with a family member, employer or your (future) ex-partner. The mediator is independent and will discuss all possible solutions with you and the other party that will help you both.
Second opinion
Do you already have an attorney or mediator but are unsure about the direction and progress of the process? Would you like advice on part of an ongoing case? With a second opinion, we look at your case in a discreet manner with a neutral and objective point of view. Furthermore, we can advise you whether to appeal after a court decision.
