INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE LAWYERS: ITALY & ENGLAND =================================================== Vardags offers unparalleled expertise for clients with ties to both Italy and England. Our approach combines in-depth knowledge of both English and Italian family law with access to a global network of advisors, ensuring a seamless international strategy. At the helm of our Italian team is Maria Fiorito - an internationally recognised lawyer, dual qualified in both UK and Italian law, whose career spans two of Milan's most prominent family law firms and nearly a decade in London handling complex cross-border divorces. She leads a group of elite Italian lawyers trusted by a distinguished, high-profile clientele. In divorce, the choice of jurisdiction can dramatically influence financial outcomes, as the Italian and English judicial systems differ in significant ways. For those who have the option, selecting where to divorce often depends on whether they are the economically stronger or weaker party. This decision is rarely straightforward - it involves factors such as current and past residences and each spouse's domicile. For example, a British 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.
