What this is, and what it is not

• It is research on published Dutch decisions, with our reading of them. It is not legal advice.
• It is not a prediction, a probability or a guarantee. The scales are computed from a count of rulings and come with the sample size.
• Published decisions are a small, non-random part of all cases. Selection bias is real.
• Interim and final decisions, the year of the decision and changes in the law matter. Partner support is used only from decisions of 2020 onward, with a warning.
• Every count states how many matching rulings it rests on; below 5 there is no rating. Child and partner support amounts are not rated.
• It never replaces your lawyer. Discuss every step with your lawyer before you file or agree to anything.
• If you are under guardianship (curatele), administration (bewind) or mentorship, your guardian or administrator may need to agree to an order; we may ask for that and refund you in full if it does not come.
