Janneke Mulder
Janneke is a specialised family law attorney, divorce mediator, collaborative divorce lawyer en accredited Parenting Coordinator. She quickly sees the problem underlying the conflict: Is it really the amount of child support we’re discussing here? Or is there still anger about the divorce getting in the way? If so, then we first need to address the anger. After all: “Without change, nothing will change.” A quality that is sorely needed when going through a divorce, according to Janneke, is a readiness to change. Janneke gets right to the core of the problem. She creates instant clarity in the chaos of a divorce. For example, by calculating the new financial position after the divorce. Janneke is the proud founder of Uiteen. Since its establishment in 2015, Uiteen grew four-fold in four years time, taking on four times the case load. Her hero is Esther Perel: a world-famous couples therapist who restores the connection between people.
