The Future Custody Agreement serves as a crucial legal instrument in Dutch family law, designed to establish clear and comprehensive arrangements for child custody between separated or divorcing parents. This document is typically used when parties need to formalize their custody arrangements, whether as part of divorce proceedings or in situations where unmarried parents require formal custody arrangements. The agreement must comply with Dutch Civil Code requirements and relevant EU regulations, particularly Brussels II bis. A Future Custody Agreement includes essential provisions such as residential arrangements, decision-making authority, visitation schedules, and financial responsibilities, while maintaining flexibility for future modifications as circumstances change. The document is particularly important in the Netherlands, where the legal system emphasizes collaborative parenting and the best interests of the child. It provides a framework for both immediate and long-term custody arrangements, ensuring stability and clarity for all parties involved.
