A divorce is life-changing and emotionally tough. Jordan Law in The Hague supports you every step—whether you seek a mutual or unilateral divorce. Our family law attorneys offer personal attention, clear guidance and strong advocacy for your best interests.
Divorce Procedure in the Netherlands
A divorce always starts by filing a petition with the district court through a lawyer. This can be done jointly, if you agree on arrangements like alimony, division of assets and—if you have children—a parenting plan. Is there no agreement or does one partner oppose? Then a unilateral petition follows; either party can present their case and the judge makes the decision.
Key steps:
Drafting a divorce agreement and, if needed, a parenting plan
Filing the divorce petition via your lawyer
Court assessment, with a child interview for children aged 12–18
Court ruling and registration of the divorce with the civil registry
