International divorce lawyer

With controversial payouts such as £5 million to a wife after a 3 year marriage or a quarter of a million per year for life, the choice of divorce lawyer and jurisdiction can be among the biggest financial decisions anyone from a wealthy family can make. For anyone used to a foreign jurisdiction, the extent to which assets and income are redistributed in England can come as a tremendous shock.

At what can be an emotional time, you need an international divorce lawyer with common sense, drive, intelligence and a thorough grasp of both the substantive and the procedural aspects of the law. You may need your lawyer to take rapid action to secure jurisdiction in the foreign courts to oust the English ones, or vice versa. You need to make sure you have a top legal team in place, able to deal with foreign lawyers, trustees, witnesses and other bodies, ideally to achieve a fair deal without recourse to the courts, or failing that, to make sure you work through the court system to your advantage.
