Family Law

Family relationships can give rise to circumstances in which the assistance of an attorney as law is desirable or even necessary. These are often emotionally charged situations with a far-reaching impact. The attorneys at law of Dijkstra Voermans are specialists in family law and focus on the concrete aspects of your intentions and wishes, while also bearing in mind the emotional factors at play.

Your personal wishes are central to family law, which is why taking a personal approach is a matter of course. We help avoid disputes by making all of the necessary arrangements for you in advance and, if a dispute is unavoidable, we offer sound advice and counsel in any court proceedings.

Divorce or termination of a cohabitation agreement

Family law regulates not only divorces and the termination of cohabitation agreements, but also matters in such areas as custody, surnames, adoption and inheritance. We can respond to your questions regarding the interpretation and settlement of prenuptial agreements, the division of assets, contact agreements, equalisation of pension benefits and the determination of the level and duration of maintenance. Our extensive experience in mediation means we are often able to avoid proceedings.


Family law and entrepreneurship

It goes without saying that particular attention must be paid when an entrepreneur divorces to ensure that the continuity of the business is not brought into jeopardy. ï In this situation, key aspects include the current account relationship, whether real income is generated, whether dividend distribution is possible, what the value of the business is and the extent to which equalisation of pension benefits influences this value. ë The firm's focus on entrepreneurship means that our attorneys at law specialising in the family law have extensive experience with the divorce process, particularly when it involves entrepreneurs.


Proceedings

We represent your interests in proceedings in a professional and committed manner and, naturally, always in close consultation with you. Although proceedings are largely conducted in writing, you in principle always have the opportunity to present your story in court. Following the court judgement, we can provide counsel in any subsequent stages.

Multidisciplinary collaboration

With Dijkstra Voermans, you are always assured of a single point of contact and the services of a multi- disciplinary team. In divorces involving immovable property or shares in a private company with limited liability that have to be divided, the advice of a civil-law notary can be of decisive importance. With this in mind, we work closely with the notarial practice of Dijkstra Voermans. We also call on the services of the accountants and tax advisors of our strategic partner BDO. In cross-border matters, we can rely on our close collaborative ties with the affiliated branches of the European ICLA network and our partner BDO offices abroad. In this way, we are able to guide you every step of the way.
