INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE LAWYERS: ITALY & MONACO 

Vardags is the go-to firm for clients with ties to both Italy and Monaco who need exceptional divorce representation. Our strength lies in combining deep knowledge of Italian family law with access to a global network of advisors, ensuring a seamless international approach. At the heart of our Italian practice is Maria Fiorito – an internationally acclaimed lawyer whose career spans two of Milans leading family law firms and nearly a decade in London handling complex cross-border divorces. She leads a team of top-tier Italian lawyers trusted by a distinguished, high-profile clientele. 

When it comes to divorce, the Italian and Monegasque judicial systems differ in ways that can significantly impact financial outcomes. For those able to choose their jurisdiction, the decision often hinges on whether they are the economically stronger or weaker party.  

Navigating this choice is far from straightforward – it depends on factors such as current and past residences, and each spouses domicile. For instance, a Monegasque national living in Italy may qualify to divorce under Italian law if they have an Italian spouse, property in Italy, or children residing or studying there.

Monaco Desk | Our Offering

Cross-border divorces demand more than standard legal advice. From choosing the most advantageous jurisdiction to dividing assets across Monaco and Italy or managing child arrangements under two legal systems, these cases call for lawyers deeply versed in international family law. For clients with ties to both Italy and Monaco, the challenge is finding a firm that combines strategic insight with discretion and practical solutions tailored to globally connected lifestyles. Despite the growing need, high-net-worth and cross-border divorce services remain underrepresented in the Italian market. 

Thats where Vardags comes in. With decades of experience in complex, high-value international divorces, we are uniquely positioned to achieve exceptional outcomes for clients with an international footprint. Founded by Ayesha Vardag – hailed by the BBC as the diva of divorce for the worlds super rich - our firm has always embraced a global perspective. From our London headquarters, we have spent over twenty years handling intricate cross-border cases through our Monaco and Italy desks. Today, through our Italian office, we bring this expertise directly to individuals with links to Monaco and Italy, offering world-class guidance and access to a trusted network of leading French lawyers and specialists. 

Our team is highly skilled in resolving jurisdictional disputes, crafting strategies that identify the most advantageous legal pathway – and ultimately secure the best possible result for every client. Supporting our Italy operations, our London-based financial forensics specialists provide expert asset tracing, valuation, and analysis, ensuring no financial detail is overlooked. Whether your priority is safeguarding significant wealth and business interests or securing a settlement that reflects your contributions and guarantees long-term security, we stand by you from start to finish. Our commitment is clear: to protect what matters most – your lifestyle, your financial future, and your interests – especially when the stakes couldnt be higher.
