Frequently asked questions: International divorce
What factors influence jurisdiction in international divorce cases?
Several factors influence jurisdiction, including where each spouse resides, nationality, domicile, the location of marital properties, and where the marriage was registered. Courts may consider these factors carefully before accepting jurisdiction.
Can I divorce in the UK if my partner lives abroad?
Yes, it is possible to commence divorce proceedings in the UK even if your spouse lives abroad, provided certain legal criteria relating to residency, domicile, or habitual residence are met.
How are assets divided during an international divorce?
Asset division can be complex in international divorce cases, as courts may consider assets held abroad or under foreign jurisdictions. Typically, factors such as location of assets, agreements between spouses, contributions made during marriage, and fairness are considered when dividing assets across borders.
Will Brexit impact my international divorce?
Brexit has impacted some international legal regulations previously governed by EU law, specifically relating to jurisdiction rules, enforcement, and recognition of judgments. Our specialists can help you navigate these changes and ensure your divorce proceedings are effectively managed.
How long does an international divorce process usually take?
The duration of international divorce proceedings varies depending on the complexity of jurisdiction issues, asset division, child custody matters, and cooperation between parties. Most international divorces may take between 6 to 18 months, but complex cases involving contested financial matters or jurisdiction disputes may take longer.
