Come along for free legal advice on the National Divorce Day
Are you thinking of getting divorced, but do you find the idea of getting in touch with a lawyer a bridge too far? Friday 9 September 2022 is National Divorce Day in the Netherlands – and it’s also the day on which we lawyers cross that bridge for our clients. It’s when we open our doors to all those in need of information about the divorce procedure – information that we provide at no charge and with no strings attached.

When’s the best time to seek advice
Not surprisingly, most people experience the process of getting divorced as a highly stressful and confusing period in their lives. If you are considering the possibility of getting divorced, it’s a good idea to obtain as much information as possible as early as possible in the process, and also to start thinking about the potential consequences. The more information you have, the easier it is to picture what the future is likely to bring, both during and after your divorce. It’s worth asking for advice from a specialist in the field – someone who can answer your most pressing questions. Such as:
- What’s going to happen to the children?
- What’s my financial situation going to be like after the divorce?
- Can I continue running my own business?
- Will I have to move house?
- How much maintenance will I have to pay / can I expect to get
- Will I still have a pension?
Together with the information provided by a specialist lawyer, the answers to these questions will give you a good picture of your future situation. The best way of preventing a divorce from ending in an acrimonious conflict is by taking legal advice early on, particularly as this often creates an opportunity for mediation.
What are the possible routes?
Apart from mediation, there are a number of alternative means of ending a relationship. These include a ‘collaborative divorce’, a joint divorce petition and a unilateral divorce petition. Which one you use depends largely on your personal preferences and circumstances.
