The total cost of incorporating a BV (besloten vennootschap) typically ranges from €1,500 to €3,000, including notary fees (approximately €500-€1,000), registration fees at the Chamber of Commerce (KVK) of around €50, and legal assistance fees. Additional costs may include translation of documents for foreign shareholders, apostille certifications, and tax advisory services. At Law & More, we offer transparent fixed-fee packages for standard BV incorporations, with clear pricing for international clients. Our all-in packages typically include drafting articles of association, coordinating with the notary, handling KVK registration, and providing initial tax structuring advice.

Not legally required but highly recommended, especially for entrepreneurs, those with significant assets, or international couples. Without prenuptial conditions, you marry in community of property - all assets acquired during marriage are shared 50/50. Prenuptial agreements allow you to keep assets separate or create custom arrangements. Must be notarized before marriage.

Alimony depends on need (partner who cannot support themselves) and capacity to pay (other partner's income). Standard calculation considers both partners' incomes, living costs, and marriage duration. Typical range is 30-40% of income difference. Partner alimony typically lasts maximum 12 years or marriage duration if shorter (for marriages under 10 years). Child support follows standard tables based on parental income and custody arrangement.

Technically yes for simple uncontested divorces with no children, property, or disputes. However, most courts require both parties to have legal representation or use mediation. Even 'simple' divorces have legal consequences that non-lawyers often overlook (pension division, tax implications, debt allocation). Legal advice is strongly recommended to protect your interests.
