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.

Specialist expertise

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.
