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 Milan's 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 spouse's 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.
