Benefits of talking to a divorce specialist
Every September, the vFAS (Association of Family Lawyers and Divorce Mediators) draws special attention to divorce during the Day of Divorce. Family law specialists use this day to provide information and guidance on divorce and everything that comes with it. For expats and international couples, a divorce can raise additional questions. For example about international family law, assets in different countries or applicable rules and agreements.
What is the aim of the national Day of Divorce?
The Day of Divorce is intended to make it easier to get information and advice about divorce/separation and everything that comes with it. A divorce/separation involves much more than ending a marriage/relationship. It can affect your children, finances, property, pensions and, in some cases, your business or international situation.
On the Day of Divorce, we can answer your questions and provide information about the divorce process and the issues you may encounter. The consultation is confidential and without obligation.
Is the Day of Divorce only for people who are thinking about divorce?
GMW lawyers’ doors are open for anyone involved in divorce. All kinds of practical issues can arise during the proceedings, the settlement or even years after the divorce has been settled.
For which problems can you offer help?
A divorce/separation can affect many different aspects of your personal and financial life. We therefore take the time to consider each issue carefully and advise you on the legal and financial consequences of the choices you make.
This may include arrangements concerning your children, which can be set out in a parenting plan, as well as calculating child and spousal maintenance. We can also advise on the division of the marital home or other jointly owned assets, and on pension arrangements.
For international couples, a divorce may involve additional questions about international family law and which rules apply. We can also assist with reviewing prenuptial or postnuptial agreements and with matters involving entrepreneurs and business interests.
For expats and (international) entrepreneurs in particular, it is important to look at the complete picture and consider how the divorce may affect both your personal and financial circumstances.
What can people expect from these talks?
We listen carefully to your situation and provide clear information about the options available to you and the steps that can be taken. Together, we look at which next steps best suit your personal circumstances.
Is it possible to come for an informal talk at another time?
You can always make an appointment with GMW lawyers. This is also possible after working hours. Since it involves personal issues, it is very important to feel comfortable with your lawyer. After all, it’s about building trust and a long-term collaboration. For this reason, it is important to orientate. We want to give people the opportunity for this during an informal meeting.
