    Understanding International Divorce


    International divorce refers to the dissolution of a marriage where the spouses are from different countries or reside in different jurisdictions. This type of divorce typically involves navigating multiple legal systems, each with its own set of laws and procedures.

    The complexity of international divorce requires careful consideration of many things including:

    • Jurisdiction: which country’s laws apply to the case can significantly impact the divorce proceedings and arrangements.
    • Complex Asset Division: Dividing assets can be particularly complicated in international divorces, especially when dealing with properties, businesses, or investments in multiple countries, each with its own legal system and tax implications.
    • Custody and Relocation: Child custody can become highly complex, involving international laws and treaties like the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction, especially if a parent wants to relocate with a child across international borders.
    • Enforcement of Orders: Implementing and enforcing court orders for for things such as spousal support and child support across different jurisdictions can be challenging and may require cooperation between legal systems of the involved countries.
