Family Law

Divorce deeply affects your life and family. In addition to grief, anger and tension, numerous questions and uncertainties arise. What is best for the children? Can I continue my own business after the divorce? What should I pay attention to if I am married under a prenuptial agreement? How does divorce work in a community of property?

What can our family law attorneys do for you?

It is reassuring to know that the specialized family law attorneys at Delissen Martens in The Hague can advise you on matters such as divorce proceedings, children and alimony, financial security, parental leave, parenting, division of the home, care responsibilities, visitation rights and spousal support. Or about the possibility of divorce through collaborative divorce: caring divorce without a fight in court, but with the assistance of your own lawyer. We also advise entrepreneurs and owner-managers on alimony and everything that comes with it. And we supervise divorces with an international character.

Our approach and the result

We prefer to be involved at an early stage, when the decision to divorce is not yet final and there might still be a basis for trust and security.
We work with both partners to start a mediation process in search of the how and why of the divorce, and we look at whether it is possible to provide more clarity. This ensures that people do not need to have concerns and problems weighing on their mind. We also look into the possibilities of, for instance, a temporary separation and solutions in the longer term.

Is a final divorce inevitable? Our mediators or family lawyers will provide assistance with all additional questions, problems, joint responsibilities, for instance, for children and the built-up assets. Ideally this will be by consultation and if that is not possible, through legal proceedings. In doing so together, we ensure that a divorce – as unpleasant as it may be – will still go smoothly.
