International divorce and separation

In today’s society, it is increasingly possible for couples to have links to various jurisdictions because of birth and nationality, where the marriage took place, or where the parties are currently living and working. This can have an impact on where divorce proceedings can be commenced.

The choice of jurisdiction can affect all aspects of a divorce. Each party may have a preference on where they wish proceedings to take place, meaning that time is often of the essence in these cases. For this reason, it is vital to get legal advice as soon as possible so that proceedings can be commenced in the right country for you and your family.

International financial settlements

If you have gone through the divorce process abroad and this has resulted in either no financial settlement or an inadequate one, it may be possible to apply to the English Courts for a financial settlement order to be made against your former partner.

This is known as a Part III order and the intention is to provide financial support for the former spouse where a foreign court has not adequately done this. The parties must have a substantial connection with the UK to follow this process.

Enforcing financial orders

Similarly, our international family lawyers can assist clients who have obtained a financial order and need to enforce it another country where there are assets. As this is a highly complicated area of law, it is crucial to instruct the help of a legal professional who can ensure that your rights and interests are protected. Our specialist family lawyers have the legal expertise to advise those that have complicated financial arrangements, including diverse sources of income.

International issues relating to children

If there is an international element to a family situation, there are added complications when legal issues arise. This becomes even more complex when children are involved, particularly when considering where the children are going to live. If one parent is concerned that the other parent may take their child abroad without their consent, they must get immediate legal advice as these situations can accelerate very quickly.

Our family law team act efficiently to ensure orders are in place to prevent these situations from taking place. We can advise you on contact, residency and financial support to achieve the best possible arrangement for you and your children.
