International divorces
International divorces are different from other divorces.
These are some of the aspects of an international divorce that need extra attention from an expert lawyer:
- Which court has jurisdiction to decide on the divorce and related issues (division of assets, alimony, custody, access)?
- Which law applies to the matrimonial property?
- Will the divorce be recognised in other countries?
- How can the court’s decision be enforced in another country?
- How can the need for alimony and the ability to pay alimony be calculated when the parties live in different countries?
- How can different cultures be taken into account in an international parenting plan?
- How can differences in holiday schedules and travel costs and travel time be taken into account in an international parenting plan?
- What are the consequences if one country recognises a same-sex marriage but another country does not?
