[Opinion] The Child Protection Council has been coming to court in The Hague unprepared for years and has been giving weighty advice

Children: The Hague District Court allows the Council to express its opinion on what is best for the child in contested divorces, without knowing the file.

The Child Protection Council (RvdK) is allowed by the court in The Hague to come to a family law case unprepared. This was confirmed by a spokesperson for the council after reporting by NRC. The RvdK provides advice during legal cases on what is best for a child, but does not need to know the file in The Hague.
