Law of persons and family law

Are you getting divorced or do you have questions about maintenance and custody? The specialized personal and family law attorneys and mediators at Van Veen Advocaten can help you with this (among other things). Our lawyers and mediators assist both individuals and business owners in Ede and surrounding areas.

Expertise

Our attorneys specialize in the following topics, among others:

  • Divorce
  • Separation of table and bed
  • Breaking society
  • Dissolution of registered partnership
  • Mediation
  • Alimony
  • Restraining order
  • Nuptial agreements
  • Division of community
  • Authority
  • Substitute consent (relocation)
  • Acknowledgment
  • Judicial establishment of paternity
  • First name change
  • Guardianship/curatorship/mentorship

With business owners, corporate law aspects often play an important role. If you own your own business, it is important to ensure the continuity of the business during a divorce and an alimony calculation. Our specific knowledge in this area distinguishes us from many other lawyers in Ede and the surrounding area.

You can choose to hire a mediator to help you settle your divorce together. Even if there are discussions after a divorce about, for example, the parenting plan, changes in visitation rights or alimony, a mediator can help to get things moving in the same direction. Our mediators guide you from start to finish and put the agreements in writing for you.

If mediation does not offer a solution or if you want unilateral advice, you can hire one of our attorneys. Unilateral advice can also be given in the background during mediation. Our lawyers are specialized in the law of persons and family law and can provide you with good and clear advice. Our lawyers will guide you through the entire process and can, if necessary, intervene in proceedings. Your interests come first.

It is important that you get proper guidance and information about your rights and obligations. Our lawyers and mediators in personal and family law are members of specialized associations, such as the Association of Family Lawyers and Divorce Mediators (VFAS). Our lawyers are also registered in the Register of Persons and Family Law of the Netherlands Bar Association. Furthermore, we offer:

  • Specialist knowledge: Our team consists of specialized lawyers who represent your interests with customized solutions.
  • Solution-oriented advice: We understand the complexities of family and divorce matters and offer practical and strategic advice.
  • Personal approach: Your situation is our focus. We listen to your needs and work together to find effective solutions.

Quality and focus of content

‘As director of three higher education institutions so far, I have been working with Van Veen lawyers for 20 years. Without exception to my great satisfaction. They deliver substantive quality and sharpness, but what is certainly important for directors: they think strategically well and are not afraid to advise against your own ideas. In addition, their way of communicating is excellent: pleasant to deal with, operationally attentive, businesslike. All in all, the value for money is excellent.’

All the specialisations we need

‘As a fast-growing organisation, we are developing rapidly and regularly need legal advice. At Van Veen Advocaten we find all the specialisms we need, from advice on legal forms and contracts with suppliers and franchisees to employment law and legal support for government tenders. It is very nice for us to have a single point of contact who knows our business well. Sometimes I also need an immediate answer to make a decision, in which case it is just a phone call away. Their quick and effective support gives us the confidence so that we can fully focus on doing business.’

A highly experienced guide

‘A very pleasant and practical approach to legal issues makes Van Veen Advocaten a good partner for us. Their clear and straightforward language on all (im)possibilities within the legal playing field makes it quickly clear to us where you stand as a company. We have experienced Van Veen Advocaten as a very experienced guide through a sometimes complicated legal landscape!’

Practical solutions that suit us well

‘As a manufacturing company, we benefit greatly from a law firm that really understands how we work. Van Veen thinks along with us and comes up with practical solutions that suit us well. The lines of communication are short and switching is quick and easy, which makes cooperation effective and pleasant. That’s why we’ve been working with Van Veen for years!’

Entrepreneurial thinking

‘High-quality legal advisor who thinks entrepreneurially and does not just think about making billable hours.’

Confidence for now and the future

We experience the expertise, solution orientation, availability and listening to the needs and interests of both our organisation and employees as distinctive in our contacts. That makes our pleasant cooperation unique and we rely on it for now and in the future.’
