Increasingly, people move countries and have relationships with non-UK nationals. Our work frequently involves an international angle. It is imperative that you obtain advice in relation to international issues immediately if your relationship has come to an end. There are international regulations which can affect where the arrangements upon separation are resolved, be it in relation to finances or children decisions. England is seen to be “the divorce capital of the world” and any delay in taking advice could damage your ability to pursue claims here or extend your liability if you would have benefited from the laws of a different jurisdiction.
Jane Keir and Charlotte Bradley are fellows of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and we therefore have contacts with lawyers around the world who can help us to act quickly on your behalf.
We do not offer legal assistance pursuant to public funding (formerly known as Legal Aid) except for cases involving cross-border child abduction. All other cases handled by the Family relationships and divorce department must be privately funded.
For more information about international family law, please contact Jane Keir on + 44 (0)20 7814 1200 or email jkeir@kingsleynapley.co.uk.
