Company directors and dismemberment of property: the right reflexes to acquire.
Company directors often use dismemberment of property to promote the acquisition of real estate intended either to house their company's offices, or to finance the purchase of a building intended to be made available to them as a benefit of any kind. These mechanisms are perfectly legal, although not much appreciated by the tax authorities, who control them very regularly, if not systematically.

Donor children – update following the federal coalition agreement for 2025-2029
The new federal coalition agreement for 2025-2029 acknowledges that the legal provisions regarding professional secrecy and the anonymity of sperm donors should no longer result in a donor child being unable to obtain any identifying or non-identifying information from the fertility center and states that "knowing one's own origins can be important for the identity formation of donor children."

Court forces sperm donor to undergo DNA testing
In a previous article, we discussed an important judgement from the Constitutional Court regarding the rights of donor children. In said article, we already referred to a groundbreaking judgement by the Court of first instance of West-Vlaanderen, section Bruges from June 23, 2023. Through this judgement, our firm obtained an order requiring the presumed donor of a donor child to undergo DNA testing, subject to a penalty payment. A recent article in the Journal of Family Law titled “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who will put an end to donor anonymity in the land?” also refers to this judgement. The Paternity Center also published an official statement in which they advocate for the abolishment of donor anonymity, referring to, inter alia, the judgement of June 23, 2023. Given this renewed focus on the rights of donor children, we will further elaborate on the judgement of June 2023 in this article.
