Persons & Family Law

Relationships between people, both between adults and between adults and children, have legal consequences. It is important to arrange things properly, both when these relationships arise and when they break. These and the following cases fall under the law of persons and family law:

​National and international (divorce) divorce

The Entrepreneur and Divorce

Dissolution of registered partnership

Termination of cohabitation relationship, including settlement of cohabitation contract

Drawing up or amending the parenting plan and/or the care arrangement

Determination and change of child support

Determination, change and termination of spousal maintenance

Asset distribution, including settlement of prenuptial agreements

Pension equalization and distribution of pension in-house

Authority, guardian ad litem

Determination and denial of paternity

Recognition and cancellation of the recognition

Adoption, stepparent adoption, co-mother adoption

Trusteeship, administration, mentorship

Name right (change of first name and/or surname)

Advising marriage conditions

​Precisely because of the personal nature, it is sometimes difficult to separate emotions from legal and financial interests. It is then important that you are assisted by someone with sound legal knowledge who also has an eye for the accompanying emotions.

Inheritance law

Inheritance law regulates the transfer of assets in the event that someone (the testator) dies. When a loved one dies, ambiguity can sometimes arise about the interpretation of a will and the rights of those involved. Even without a will, it is often unclear who has what rights and powers. Questions may arise such as: 'may I sell my father's or mother's household effects independently', 'how do I deal with the financial advantage of my brother or sister' and 'what are my obligations as an executor?' Issues related to inheritance law include:

​Consequences of death without a will

Rights of heirs, husband or wife, children, stepchildren and third parties

Legal distribution

Will, explanation and the consequences of a will

Legitimate portion, gifts, legacies, usufruct and rights of will

Executor, liquidation and administration

The distribution and procedural aspects

​In such an emotional time, clear advice is important so that you know where you stand and, if necessary, assistance in a procedure. You can also contact KreteMarres for this.

Mediation

If you remain connected to your ex-partner in the future, for example because you have children together, you may have a great deal of interest in reaching a good solution together. In this case, a mediator guides the negotiation process. Independent and neutral, in a confidential atmosphere. It is the mediator's job to provide both parties with legal information and to guide them to reach a solution together that lays a good foundation for a new future.
