Approach

In a classic conflict in court, many cases remain unresolved. As a result,  both parties end up spending a lot of money, feeling unsatisfied and dealing with recurring conflict situations. The damage for those (in)directly involved often lasts a lifetime.

In the interest of you, your child(ren), your family, your wealth or your business, we believe that conflicts should be handled differently.

These are the lawyers and mediators of our law firm. Click on the name or photo of the respective lawyer for more information.

All our meetings can also take place remotely, using platforms such as Skype, Zoom, or Teams.

Collaborating Partners

Psychologist (NIP) and Divorce Consultation Professional

Drs. Irene van Noort is a psychologist (registered with the Netherlands Institute for Psychologists, NIP) and divorce consultation professional (collaborative practitioner). By now she has over 20 years of experience running her own private practice in which she provides coaching, training and advice to be more effective personally. Uiteen calls on the expertise of Irene van Noort when we feel that our client would benefit from additional support in dealing with the divorce. This could be during the divorce process, but also afterwards, for example when the clients need a little extra guidance in their parenting. In addition, Irene can be asked to have a conversation with the child(ren) to hear their voice and to take their interests into account in the divorce consultation or divorce proceedings. Finally, Irene can be engaged as psychologist/coach during a collaborative divorce. Fundamentals of Irene's approach are models grounded in personality theory and behavioural science. She has a talent for identifying ingrained patterns and personal tendencies, which makes it possible to consciously choose for new effective forms of communication with each other in the "post-marriage phase".

Roelof de Pater (1981) is a pension advisor and financial planner. He provides financial advice during a divorce regarding your retirement. This could include, for example, advice about the allocation of accrued benefits. Although it may seem insignificant to discuss at the moment, a good retirement is an essential component of a (carefree) financial future! Roelof takes stock of the accrued benefits for both parties and advises how best to distribute these according to the personal situation and wishes of the client. Furthermore, Roelof helps recently divorced people to gain insight into the new financial reality. Will I have sufficient income after my divorce? Do I need to save extra for my retirement? These are just a few questions you can discuss with Roelof. You can count on a clear, pragmatic and affordable advice.

The entrepreneur can often rely on the financial advisor, accountant and/or tax specialist of the company. Annemarie provides guidance and support for their partner, for example, in analysing documents received and explaining calculations. In this way, both partners can participate in the consultation on equal footing. This makes it possible to reach good agreements during mediation and achieve a successful conclusion for both parties.

Mortgage Advisor and Financial Expert

After nearly 20 years of working with large financial service providers, I founded Teutenberg Financial Planning in 2007. Thanks to the knowledge and experience I gained, I can help you to find the right financial solutions for your personal situation. Additionally, I can inform you of your rights in relation to investors and insurance agents. I welcome the challenge, in these times of standardisation, to offer you tailor-made financial advice and to get more out of the financial service sector on your behalf.

As an independent advisor and former credit officer, I can help you not only to find the most suitable financial solution, but also make the necessary arrangements with the lender and insurance company. This way, you can focus on your divorce knowing that the solution you desire is feasible.

The following financial questions often arise during a divorce:

  • I want to have the house and the mortgage in my name after the divorce. Is that possible?
  • If I take over the home and the mortgage, will I still be able to pay alimony?
  • What agreements do we need to make regarding alimony and child support?
  • How can we best distribute the retirement benefits?
  • What are the fiscal consequences of our divorce?
  • How should we deal with our current insurance policies?
  • Now that we've agreed on the financial arrangements, what can I still spend each month?
