However, with the arrival of a new partner for her, the agreements made together are suddenly no longer being met and I am simply no longer able to see our joint 3 children on a monthly basis.\n Even after repeated requests, she no longer wants to comply. Now I also no longer want to comply with the agreements that were in her favor and therefore have a number of questions.\n\n - It has never been determined what I have to pay in alimony. Now I read that there is a big difference in the Dutch and German calculation of this. I now obediently pay more than 1000 euros per month. Does anyone have contact with a Dutch lawyer who I can hire for this and who has experience with this?\n - The house where my ex-wife lives is still our joint property. Can I deny her new partner access to it? Officially, I still live in the same house. \n- It was agreed that I would leave almost all of the furniture behind. For that, my ex-wife would drive halfway with the transfer of our children. Now, however, she no longer does that. Can I still claim half of the furniture? Especially since I still live there on paper?\n\n It is an annoying story for me. At the moment I can only see our children 3 times a year because we live 400km apart and I obviously cannot drive 800km twice in a weekend to see my children and a hotel is unfortunately not an option due to the financial position (1000 euros alimony).\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n content-related:\n To determine whether Dutch or German law applies:\n 1) Before entering into marriage with your ex-spouse, did you determine which law governs the matrimonial property regime? That law applies.\n 2) If not, what is your first joint residence? If the residence is in the Netherlands, Dutch law applies; if the residence is in Germany, German law applies.\n \nYou start with the fact that no divorce agreement has been drawn up. I do not know your situation but I advise you to draw up an agreement because of these kinds of issues but also because of future issues such as pension agreements. You do not want to be faced with surprises at the age of 67.\n\n On the other hand, since there is no divorce agreement, there are no legally enforceable agreements under Dutch law. In other words: no debt collection, bailiff if you do not pay or pay less.\n\n You and your ex-partner are free to determine together what the amount of alimony is. You state that you pay 1000 euros per month. If you do not agree on the amount of alimony, there is a tool for that on the internet. A lawyer has a more accurate tool that is also used by the court.\n\n In addition to the amount of your and her income, the need must also be taken into account. To determine the need, the situation when you were still married to your ex-partner is examined.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55005106012509,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-58482-mijn-ex-vrouw-en-ik-zijn-in-mei-2014-van-tafel-en-bed-gescheiden-en-in-okt-2016-is-ons-huwelijk-daad","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
