International divorces

Divorces with an international dimension give rise to complex and sometimes critical legal issues. William Kaye is a Resolution Accredited Specialist in International matters and is featured in the Reunite International Lawyers Listing.

If your separation or divorce has an international dimension, it is vital that your interests are represented by a solicitor with the experience and expertise in dealing with cases that can potentially involve more than one legal jurisdiction.

A number of key decisions and issues will be influenced by not only domestic but also foreign and multinational legislation, which may include: 

  • In which country to start the divorce; there are often financial advantages and disadvantages depending on the forum 
  • The arrangements for the children; International Conventions may well govern the legal position 
  • International recognition of foreign financial orders; awards against offshore assets may prove difficult to recover 
  • Enforcement of orders relating to children; different countries adopt differing policies which may render an order unenforceable 
  • Taxation issues; liabilities can vary enormously depending on jurisdiction

We have the experience and expertise to help you safely negotiate the legal and practical complexities of international cases.
