Mediator Haarlem | From first meeting to settlement agreement
Arranging a divorce is more than talking. In the end, there has to be a settlement agreement that is correct, that you both understand and that the court adopts without problems. Mark de Krosse, MfN-registered mediator, guides couples from Haarlem through that entire process: from the first meeting to the documents that go to the court.
Everything that needs to be arranged
A divorce or the ending of a registered partnership brings a lot together:
- the house: who stays, is it sold, what happens to the mortgage
- savings, debts and pension
- spousal maintenance and child maintenance
- with children: the parenting plan
Mark makes sure nothing is forgotten and that every topic is discussed fairly. He explains how the rules work, so that you know what you are deciding on. The choices are yours.
From agreement to paper
Once you agree, Mark writes the divorce settlement agreement (convenant) and, where needed, the parenting plan. You read everything through and only sign when it is right. A lawyer then checks the documents for legal accuracy and files the petition. For residents of Haarlem, that is normally with the North Holland District Court. Even after the last signature, you can come back to Mark if new questions arise.
Besides divorces, Mark guides employment conflicts. There too, a successful mediation ends with agreements on paper, in a settlement agreement.
Getting there
The office is in Badhoevedorp, in the Haarlemmermeer. From Haarlem you drive there via the A200 past Halfweg or via the A9. You park for free in front of the door and talk in a private meeting room. The sessions can also take place at your home in Haarlem or online, and in English if you prefer.
