INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE LAWYERS: ITALY & GERMANY ================================================== Vardags is a top family law firm for individuals with personal, financial and business links to Italy and Germany. Our team combines deep knowledge of Italian family law with access to a global network of advisors, ensuring seamless and effective solutions for complex divorce cases. Leading our dedicated Italian team is Maria Fiorito - an internationally respected lawyer who spent years at two of Milan's top family law firms and nearly a decade in London handling complex international divorce matters. She works alongside a group of highly regarded Italian lawyers who represent an elite and distinguished clientele. There are significant distinctions between the Italian and German judicial systems. For individuals who can choose where to file for divorce, the financial consequences may differ greatly - often influenced by whether they are the economically stronger or weaker party. Choosing the right jurisdiction is a complex process, influenced by factors such as your current residence, previous places of living, and both parties' domiciles. For instance, German nationals residing in Italy may be eligible to divorce under Italian law if they have an Italian spouse, own property in Italy, or have children living or studying there.
