Document background
The Divorce Waiver is a critical legal instrument in Belgian family law proceedings, typically used when spouses wish to establish clear boundaries regarding their rights and obligations during or after divorce. This document becomes particularly relevant when one spouse agrees to forfeit certain legal entitlements, such as property rights, maintenance claims, or pension benefits. The Divorce Waiver must be drafted in compliance with Belgian Civil Code requirements and may need to address both national and EU regulations when international elements are present. It's essential that the document clearly identifies the rights being waived, includes appropriate safeguards to ensure voluntary execution, and incorporates necessary legal attestations. The waiver should be prepared with careful consideration of both parties' interests and typically requires independent legal counsel to ensure its validity and enforceability under Belgian law.
