The fourth Public Academy for Jurisprudence will focus on the topic of fighting divorce.
Every year, approximately 70,000 people divorce. In about 10% of the cases this results in a fighting divorce. In a fighting divorce, the divorce is so conflictual that the interests of the ex-partner and the children are completely lost sight of. What needs to be arranged in a divorce? When should alimony be paid? Who gets the house? What is the position of the children? These are questions that will be addressed during the Public Law Academy on Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2016.
Prof. mr. W.D. Kolkman, Professor of Private Law at the RUG, will approach the issues mainly from the financial perspective: (partner) alimony and division of marital property. From the North Netherlands District Court, family and children's judge D.J. Klijn will be present. She will discuss the consequences for the children and the possibilities the judge has to prevent escalation of the conflict between the parents. Naturally, there is also room for questions.
