  We discuss limits on neutrino-Majoron couplings both from laboratory
experiments as well as from astrophysics. They apply to the simplest class of
Majoron models which covers a variety of possibilities where neutrinos acquire
mass either via a seesaw-type scheme or via radiative corrections. By adopting
a general framework including CP phases we generalize bounds obtained
previously. The combination of complementary bounds enables us to obtain a
highly non-trivial exclusion region in the parameter space. We find that the
future double beta project GENIUS, together with constraints based on supernova
energy release arguments, could restrict neutrino-Majoron couplings down to the
10^{-7} level.
