Mediator in Hoofddorp | Divorce mediation
If you live in Hoofddorp, your mediator is in the same municipality. The DKM Mediation office is in Badhoevedorp, one of the villages of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, of which Hoofddorp is the largest. Mark de Krosse, MfN-registered mediator, guides divorces and employment conflicts there, in Dutch and in English.
When it comes to money and the house
In many divorces, the hardest questions are in the figures. Can one of you stay in the house? What happens to the mortgage and the savings? Is spousal maintenance needed, and how much child maintenance is reasonable? Together with you, Mark maps out the financial situation, so that you know what you are deciding on before you agree to anything.
- The house: selling, buying out or keeping it together for a while
- Assets and debts: what is joint and what is not
- Maintenance: for the children and possibly for the partner
- Pension: what you have built up together
With children, the parenting plan is added. Everything together goes into the divorce settlement agreement (convenant). If one of you owns a business, Mark's background helps: more than 25 years as an entrepreneur and mediator in a family business.
Costs
For family matters, Mark charges €195 per hour including VAT. There is no extra charge for the meeting room, and parking is free. You usually share the costs, often half each. With a low income, you may qualify for legal aid, in which case the government pays a large part of the costs.
Getting there
Badhoevedorp is on the north-east side of the Haarlemmermeer, close to the A4 and the A9. From Hoofddorp you get there via the A4 or the A5. Sessions at your home in Hoofddorp or online are also possible. If you live in the Haarlemmermeer, the divorce petition normally goes to the North Holland District Court.
