The costs of a joint petition for a divorce in the Amsterdam district through me are € 675,- all in. In this price included are the costs of the court (griffierecht € 208,- and 19% taxes (BTW).

These prices apply to a divorce-request presented at the court in Amsterdam. For this request in Amsterdam it is not necessary to live in Amsterdam. There is no problem if both of you choose residence ("domicilie") at my office, after which the court will deal with the request without a problem, irrespective of where you live. When you live in another country and you want me to present the petition in the Netherlands, you're due € 175,- more (including 19% taxes/BTW).
You can accelerate the procedure by, after filling in the Divorce Intake Form transferring the amount due to account number 43.35.13.276 at the ABN AMRO in Amsterdam or giro number 313795, in the name of mr. M.C.J. Teurlings. Please mention your name. For payments from outside the Netherlands the Swift code of the bank is ABNANL2A. The IBAN number is NL04ABNA0433513276 (Abn Amro Bank Amsterdam).

You have the right to withdraw your order within seven days. If you didn't send any documents or you don't receive the paperwork and the proceedings didn't take a start as agreed, of course you will receive a full refund. If the payment is done and (some of) the necessary documents are received, the drafts will immediately be produced as promised and send to you. In this case only the court fee will be returned if you don't want to divorce, because all the work has been done. There are no other conditions applicable besides the conditions on this page. All information filled in on the Divorce Intake Form will be saved in your file and can be viewed any time you want.

COSTS AND LEGAL AID

On the (Dutch) Rechtsbijstand page you can conclude whether you can apply for financed legal aid in which case you only have to pay a smaller amount as own contribution and a smaller amount of the costs of the court. Regarding the mutual request for a divorce both your incomes will be counted in order to decide whether you can apply for financed legal aid. The activities won't take a start however before the receipt of the definitive addition by the "Raad voor Rechtsbijstand". Usually this addition takes two months. After that first the own contribution and costs of the court must have been paid.
