Divorce with children

Applying for a divorce not only has a major impact on the lives of you and your partner, but also on those of your child(ren). A divorce will result in your partner becoming your ex-partner. However, this does not mean that your ex-partner will also become an ex-parent. Working with your ex-partner during and after a divorce requires a lot of effort. Nevertheless, cooperating parents are very important for the well-being of children. No contact or deteriorated contact with one of the parents can have serious negative consequences for a child. Whether you have young or older children, it is important that their interests are taken into account in the divorce process..

To ensure that your children suffer as little as possible from the divorce, it is important to make clear agreements. We give you legal advice and negotiate on your behalf.
