hi all, well my friend has tried the suggestions below, but there don't seem to be any divorce lawyers...does anyone have any other recommendations? her big issue is that the husband's work pays for the villa directly, and so this won't be factored in to any package calculations...she is really concerned that she can't find anyone who understands how things work here, and that it will work against her in the final settlement... Belinda, do you by any chance know who your friend used...? thanks again!

Tell her to have a look at a mediator. A friend of mine, here and Dutch ,just went through the same. They had a mediator in Holland and they took the whole housing, scholing ect in to the divorce settlement. You can also ask on the Nederlandse vereniging website for a lawyer, or the Facebook page of them. http://www.nldubai.nl/home/1

MrsMozz, sorry to hear about your friend. Must be really hard to go through divorce, esp. when you're in a foreign country without family around. At least she's got a good friend in you :) There's an organisation in Dubai, called Nederlanders in Nood ('Dutch in Distress'). Maybe she can call them...in their advert it says they offer help in legal, financial and medical matters, and also assist with family- and personal matters. They have a 24-hrs help line: 050 458 2332 Maybe they can offer advice on what to do. HTH

hi, does anyone know of a good Dutch divorce lawyer...? a friend of mine here is going through divorce, but it will go through the Dutch courts...the divorce is looking like it could get messy and she wants someone who understands about life here (ie will be able to take into account that in addition to salary, hubbie's housing allowance is paid, school fees, flights etc)...any recommendations at all would be fantastic, many thanks...
