International Divorce Lawyer

International divorce entails applying for divorce when one partner is outside the UK. It can be complex as different divorce laws are practised in different jurisdictions. We can help you issue divorce proceedings in the UK and serve a divorce petition to a person residing outside the UK. Similarly, people outside the UK can issue a divorce petition to a partner residing in the UK.

You can apply for an international divorce in the UK if:

• You and your spouse reside in the UK
• One (or both) of you has been living in England (or Wales) for a minimum of six months
• When both you and your spouse hold British citizenship, but live abroad

We help you understand the legal implications and benefits of filing a divorce in the UK, before the proceedings. Our advice makes the situation clearer and helps you choose an advantageous way to end your marriage.

Having international connections such as off-shore accounts, business, real estate properties, or family ties can add an international element to divorce matters. We have the expertise to manage these unique situations.

We have a wealth of knowledge about different court systems and how international family law can affect your custody rights and financial arrangements. Seek our expertise to:

• Choose the right jurisdiction to file your divorce.
• Serve a divorce petition to a spouse living abroad.
• Decide child arrangements (including relocation, visitation rights, and childcare support).
• Distribute overseas accounts and properties.
• Manage financial claims and legal issues.
• Handling pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements signed outside the UK.
• Making financial decisions, such as pension and insurance plans.
• Tax implications of transferring resources from off-shore accounts.
