Municipality of Nissewaard: registering a divorce in the civil registry

Do you want to divorce your partner? Then you always need a lawyer. You can choose one yourself. The lawyer asks the judge to grant a divorce. This is done with a "divorce decree." Once the judge grants the decree and makes it final, your lawyer will notify the municipality within six months. The lawyer will ask the registrar to register this decree in the marriage register. This is done at the municipality where the marriage took place. The registrar will then pass the information on to the municipality where you live.
