International divorce lawyers
What is involved in an international divorce?
International divorce presents unique challenges which require the careful navigation of multiple legal systems, jurisdictional issues and cultural considerations. Unlike domestic divorces, these cases often involve complex financial arrangements, child custody across borders and the division of assets located in different countries.
Key factors that may influence international divorce cases include:
- Couples relocating abroad from their home country
- Former partners living in different countries
