Family

HuisRAAD Advocaten & Bemiddelaars advises and represents clients in all aspects of family law, from child recognition and adoption to parental authority, custody and tailored residence or co-parenting arrangements, always prioritizing the best interests of the child; the team drafts and negotiates maintenance and cost-sharing agreements, calculates fiscal consequences for separated families and assists with both personal maintenance for partners and child support disputes. They prepare and review matrimonial and cohabitation contracts, structure succession and succession-planning measures including gifts, wills and care mandates, and guide clients through liquidation and distribution of assets after divorce in coordination with notaries and the courts. For divorces they handle both mutual-consent and contested proceedings, address echtscheidingspensioen issues and manage international or cross-border family-law matters in cooperation with foreign counsel. When appropriate they pursue mediation and out-of-court settlements to limit conflict, and they provide litigation support where agreements cannot be reached, including representation before the family and peace courts in guardianship, bewind and inheritance disputes.

Lawsuits & Disputes

HuisRAAD Advocaten handles litigation and dispute resolution arising from family and related matters by combining courtroom experience with a mediation-oriented approach: the team assesses each case to weigh the feasibility and costs of proceeding to court versus negotiated settlement, advises on strategic options and legal consequences, and conducts proceedings when litigation is necessary; its background as practising lawyers also informs mediation services, allowing mediators to design agreements that align with how the family court evaluates cases and to increase the likelihood that mediated accords will be approved by the court, while always aiming for tailored solutions that address both legal and personal needs.
