Meet our team. How may the assist you?
Divorce, dissolution of registered partnership, and termination of cohabitation
When the relationship ends, the family lawyers at ScheerSanders Advocaten can assist you in settling the entire procedure, including the property settlement. This includes the division of the community of property and the settlement of prenuptial agreements. We also address the pension-related aspects of terminating the relationship, ensuring that everything is arranged properly for the future.
Child maintenance and spousal maintenance
When a relationship involving children comes to an end, a parenting plan must be drawn up. Depending on the custody arrangements, child maintenance might be required. In cases of divorce or the termination of a registered partnership, there might also be a right to spousal maintenance. The family lawyers at ScheerSanders Advocaten will investigate this for you and assist in the settlement.
Parenthood, custody, and guardianship
When children are born from a marriage or registered partnership, the father automatically has parental authority over them. If there is no marriage or registered partnership, the father must acknowledge the children and apply for parental authority to have the same rights and responsibilities as the mother. Naturally, disputes may also arise between two parents with parental authority, in which case the lawyers at ScheerSanders Advocaten can advise and, if necessary, represent you in legal proceedings.
Child protection measures, curatorship, administration and protection order
In some cases, there may be suspicions that a minor is seriously restricted in their development. In such cases, child protection measures may be taken such as a family supervision order, placement in care, or termination of custody. The family lawyers at ScheerSanders Advocaten can assist you in these situations. This also applies to cases concerning curatorship, administration and protection order.
