International family law
A divorce, maintenance or contact arrangements with a link to another country raise extra questions. We guide you through them.
Families are increasingly international. Partners with different nationalities, a home abroad, a job in another country or children who move: as soon as there is a link with another country, the question arises which court has jurisdiction and which law applies.
International divorce
In an international divorce the first question is where the divorce can be applied for. That choice can have a big impact on the division of assets and on maintenance. We assess the options and advise you on the best route.
Maintenance across borders
Does your former partner live abroad? Maintenance can then still be set and collected, but the procedure is more complex. We know the international arrangements and work with lawyers abroad where needed.
Children and international moves
Moving abroad with children requires the consent of the other parent or permission from the court. When a child is taken abroad without consent, this is international child abduction. Speed is then essential, and we act immediately.
