Wijziging van Boek 1 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek in verband met het clausuleren van het recht op contact of omgang na partnerdoding

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This Dutch bill amends Book 1 of the Civil Code, the part of the code that covers family law. It would write into law a rule about the right of contact or access (contact or omgang) between a parent and a child when one parent has killed the other parent. The title suggests the rule would be set as a fixed condition in the code rather than left to case-by-case judgment. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text of the bill. The bill would mainly affect a parent convicted of killing a partner who shares children with them, as well as those children and the surviving family. Judges and family courts would be affected by how contact decisions are made. The exact scope, such as whether contact would be removed or only restricted, needs to be checked in the full text.
