Mediator for Amsterdam | Divorce in peace
Amsterdam is busy. Work, children, appointments: the diary is full, and then a divorce comes on top of it. For conversations like these it helps to step out of the bustle for a while. Mark de Krosse, MfN-registered mediator, welcomes people from Amsterdam in his own meeting room in Badhoevedorp, just across the municipal border on the west side of the city.
Why talking outside the city works
No parking meter, no hunt for a space: you park for free in front of the door and walk straight in. The meeting room belongs to neither of you, and that neutral ground often brings some breathing space.
Doesn't the drive fit into your schedule? Then the introduction and the sessions can also take place online. That way you work on your agreements without travel time, for example at the end of a working day. Sessions at your home are also possible.
Many couples in Amsterdam have an international background. Mark conducts mediations in English as well as in Dutch.
What Mark helps you with
- Divorce: dividing the house, savings and debts, and the question of whether maintenance has to be paid
- Children: a parenting plan with agreements on living arrangements, care, holidays and major decisions
- The settlement agreement: all agreements on paper, ready for the lawyer and the court
- Work: a deadlocked employment conflict between employer and employee
Mark works in a no-nonsense way. He explains the rules, gives both parties equal weight and makes sure everything that needs discussing is put on the table. The decisions are yours.
Getting there
Badhoevedorp borders the west side of Amsterdam. From the city you drive there via the A10 ring road and the A4; from the west and south of the city, the A9 is also an obvious route. If you live in Amsterdam, the lawyer will normally file the divorce petition with the Amsterdam District Court.
What happens next
- Introduction. At the office, at your home or online: you briefly explain what is going on and Mark explains what mediation can do. Everything about the process is on how it works.
- Sessions. In a number of two-hour sessions, you work through the topics one by one. You can read what that costs under fees.
- Recording and filing. Mark puts the agreements in the divorce settlement agreement and the parenting plan; the lawyer files them. Read more about divorce.
