Familierecht
International family law / international (marital) divorces / Expat
Many (married) expats live in the regions Almere and Amsterdam. Also many Dutch people live abroad with their families. Frequently, unfortunately, these relationships go through hard times and end in divorce or relationship breakdown. The international aspects of a divorce can be an (additional) complicating factor in the often emotional and heavy process of separation.
For example, Dutch courts do not always have jurisdiction to adjudicate these issues. Nor is it necessarily the case that the Dutch court may judge the consequences of the divorce or separation under Dutch law.
