About De Boorder
De Boorder Family and Inheritance Law Attorneys & Mediators is one of the largest firms in the Netherlands that has fully specialized in family law and inheritance law, with offices in Amsterdam and Het Gooi. We exclusively handle cases that are related to family and inheritance law in the broadest sense. These can be cases with a significant financial interest (for example, dividing a company), complicated legal structures (for example, the settlement of prenuptial agreements) or cases with international aspects (for example, a child abduction or a divorce between expats). We are also happy to handle cases that do not seem very complicated at first glance.
We help
We help people who are separating or have already separated. For example, we are involved in establishing or changing arrangements regarding children or alimony, dividing a community of property or settling prenuptial agreements. We can also help you with issues concerning inheritance law and/or the settlement of an estate. The lawyers associated with our office are specialized in these areas of law and have many years of experience.
Sometimes you need a lawyer who will litigate for you at the cutting edge and sometimes you are looking for a harmonious solution outside the court. Our office has all this expertise in-house. We are a boutique office with a “Zuidas mentality”. This means that we have the necessary professional knowledge at the highest level. In doing so, we never lose sight of the human dimension.
Give advice
In our practice, providing advice is always customized and focused on your specific situation. A lot has changed in the field of divorces recently. For example, in politics new developments underway, such as the bill to limit the duration of alimony and to divorce without the intervention of the judge. We follow these developments closely.
We notice that people increasingly want to determine for themselves how they resolve a conflict. We are clear about what you can expect from us and approach your case pragmatically. From the start, we discuss the options with you and the strategy to be implemented on that basis. So you determine the course together with us.
Our goal
Our goal is to guide you as efficiently as possible in a conflict or (real) divorce, so that the costs remain limited and unnecessary escalation is prevented. If the understanding between the partners lends itself to this, mediation is a good solution and Collaborative Divorce/consultation divorce can also be considered. In the latter case, each party has their own lawyer and a coach is appointed, who is present at all meetings to prevent emotional escalation. If that is not feasible, an attempt is made to reach an arrangement with the other party's lawyer. If that (also) does not succeed, a procedure will be unavoidable.
We see that more and more clients are opting for mediation or a collaborative divorce. They prefer to settle their divorce together in a practical and realistic way without arguments, so by working together. People want to resolve their affairs harmoniously by making agreements that apply for the long term, especially if children are involved. In this way, those involved know where they stand and they can each build a new future.
