Our lawyers can help when you have an international element to your divorce. You may have joint property overseas, or perhaps one spouse wants to return to live in their home country.
It’s possible for each spouse to get what they want and achieve financial provision. However, there are some unique considerations when there’s an international aspect to the divorce.
We have years of experience in dealing with complex divorces like this. We can help achieve the arrangements and financial settlement that you need to secure the future you want.
What are your rights in a divorce with an international element?
Arrangements for children
It may be the case that you, or your ex-spouse, want to live abroad after your divorce or separation.
In these circumstances, you will need to agree on the movement of your children between countries. In other words, one parent can’t take the children abroad, without the other’s permission.
Our International divorce lawyers can help you negotiate an agreement with your ex-spouse, but if an agreement is not possible, we can apply to the court for a relocation order. If the order is granted, you will be able take your children abroad, even if the other parent objects.
Financial provision
All of your assets and your partner’s assets will be taken into account in the financial settlement for the divorce. That includes any assets that are located abroad.
