What is family law?

Family law is a branch of civil law that focuses on legal issues within family relationships. It includes issues such as marriage, divorce, child custody, visitation arrangements, adoption and child recognition. It also includes the division of assets and alimony after a divorce. Family law regulates the rights and duties of family members toward each other and provides legal frameworks for resolving conflicts. This area of law aims to protect the interests of everyone involved, especially children, and provide fair solutions in family-related disputes.

No family case is the same. Some cases involve a business settlement and others involve (extraordinarily) emotional and far-reaching issues. Not infrequently we hear of the latter. We have an eye and ear for that without losing sight of your broader interests. Our assistance is characterized by honest, clear, committed and decisive advice.

The arrest of Vito Shukrula, lawyer for Ridouan Taghi, has hit like a bomb with fellow criminal lawyers. Well-known criminal lawyer Peter Plasman has been equally "shocked and bewildered" by the news. ,,It is of course only a suspicion, but after all the commotion you may assume that the Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) will not act overnight. The OM will think they have a strong case. For now, I assume the prosecution has thought carefully about this arrest. Arresting a lawyer is a very heavy step.'' Plasman also cannot get over the fact that a lawyer seems to have once again functioned as an errand boy.

Will a pedometer provide a definitive answer to the death of 30-year-old Laura from Leiden? The Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) thinks so, but the lawyer of the victim's ex, Jordi L'Homme, expects nothing from it, it appeared Monday morning during the fifth preliminary hearing against suspect Paul V.

Let the Public Prosecutor's Office handle the lighter cases itself. Then judges can focus on the heavier cases so that there are enough cells for the convicts who really belong there, argues attorney Peter Plasman.
