Child distribution

In the event of a break-up, child distribution and contact can be one of the most difficult things to agree on. Questions about who should have the daily care, how much time the individual parent should have, etc. Such issues can be tough, and present great challenges.

Marriage pact and cohabitation agreement

Many issues can be avoided by entering into legal agreements such as a marriage pact or cohabitation agreement in advance, while the cohabitation still exists.

​

Cohabitants do not have the same rights as a married couple have under the Marriage Act. In order to ensure financial security and predictability, it is therefore important to sign a cohabitation agreement (cohabitation contract). This is how you can ensure the values the parties bring into the relationship, and the values you acquire during the cohabitation. Such an agreement also ensures what will happen in the event of a breakup.

Probate settlement

In addition, family law also regulates how the property is to be divided upon the dissolution of the marriage. This is called switching. Change is made when the cohabitation ends in the event of a break-up and in the event of death. A change is to distribute financial resources between two spouses who are to be separated / divorced. Cohabitants must also make a change in the event of a break-up.

​

There is basically freedom of contract in probate settlement after divorce. The parties' disagreements may, however, suggest that a lawyer should be involved to ensure that one comes out of a marital breakdown fairly.
