Wijziging van het Wetboek van Burgerlijke Rechtsvordering in verband met verlening aan de notaris van bevoegdheden in verband met gemeenschappelijke verzoeken tot echtscheiding en tot ontbinding van een geregistreerd partnerschap

This legislative proposal aims to amend the Code of Civil Procedure to allow notaries to handle joint requests for divorce and the dissolution of registered partnerships. By shifting these administrative legal processes from the courts to notaries, the government seeks to reduce the burden on the judicial system and provide citizens with a more efficient alternative. This change primarily affects couples who mutually agree to end their marriage or partnership. It simplifies the legal process for these individuals and expands the professional scope of notaries in the Netherlands.
