The changed legislation on spousal support

Current legislation regarding spousal support assumes a maximum payment period of 12 years.

A bill is now before the House of Representatives to limit this period to a maximum of 5 years. Only if children are involved can the maintenance obligation be longer.

Marjoleine de Boorder (founder and partner of our office) considers this a positive development and discusses this in more detail in her interview with the Academy for Legal Practice.
