Family law
Divorce Convention (draft agreement)
When spouses agree to separate, they can settle the consequences of the divorce in a written agreement before applying to the court.
Overview
When spouses agree to separate, they can settle the consequences of the divorce in a written agreement before applying to the court.
A notary can help prepare this agreement, covering matters such as the family home, the division of property, support and the care of children. A court must still grant the divorce itself, but a clear agreement usually makes the process simpler.
