International divorce and separation

With the rise of globalisation, it becomes increasingly likely that couples have links to various jurisdictions because of nationality, where the marriage took place, or where the parties are currently living and working. This often has an impact on where divorce proceedings can be commenced.

The choice of jurisdiction can affect all aspects of a divorce. Each party may have a preference on where they wish proceedings to take place, meaning that time is often of the essence in these cases. For this reason, it is vital to get legal advice as soon as possible so that proceedings can be commenced in the right country for you and your family.

International financial settlements

If you have gone through the divorce process abroad and this has resulted in either no financial settlement or an inadequate one, it may be possible to apply to the English Courts for a financial settlement order, a  Part III order, to be made against your former partner with the intention of defining the financial arrangements where a foreign court has not adequately provided for one spouse. There must be a substantial connection with England and Wales to enable this course to be followed. 

Enforcing financial orders

Similarly, our international family lawyers can assist clients who have obtained a financial order and need to enforce it another country.  As this is a highly complicated area of law, it is crucial to be advised by legal professional who is qualified in the jurisdiction of that country and that your rights and interests are protected.  Giambrone & Partners' family lawyers are qualified in many jurisdictions across Europe.

International issues relating to children

If there is an international element to a family situation, there can be added complications when legal disputes arise. This becomes even more complex when children are involved, particularly relating to where the children are going to live. If one parent is concerned that the other parent may take their child abroad without their consent, they must get immediate legal advice as these situations can accelerate very quickly.

Our family law team act efficiently to ensure orders are in place to prevent these situations from taking place. We can advise you on contact, residency and financial support to achieve the best possible arrangement for you and your children.
