Divorce proceedings 1993-2013
Description
This table provides information on divorce proceedings before the Dutch courts. Information on the nature of the application, the persons concerned (partners and minor children) the duration of the marriage until the time of the decision and the duration of the divorce proceedings are included. In addition, there is information on decisions in ancillary provisions (e.g. possible maintenance for the partner and/or child(ren), allocation of the former jointly used home, assignment of parental authority and the established access regime).
The decline in the number of divorce proceedings since 2001 has largely been caused by the increase in the number of so-called ‘flash divorces’. In a flash divorce, the marriage was first converted into a
registered partnership. Subsequently, this registered partnership was dissolved without the intervention of the court. Since flash separations were not pronounced by the judge, flash separations are not included in this table. The flash separation was abolished on 1 March 2009.
