Family Law Fact: The Ultimate Guide to Jurisdiction in Divorce

What is jurisdiction?

Jurisdiction refers to the authority of a court or other legal body to hear and decide a legal matter.

Jurisdiction is generally determined by a combination of factors, including the location where the incident giving rise to the legal dispute occurred, the residence or location of the parties involved, and the subject matter of the case.

Why is jurisdiction important?

Different countries have differing approaches to how divorces are decided especially around finances and property. England and Wales is one of the few who sees marriage as a true partnerships, and looks to divide the fruits of that partnership evenly between the person who made the money and the homemaker. This can make a huge difference to the outcome, especially for high and ultra-high net worth families.

The English courts also have greater powers than most to investigate the financial resources available to the parties. They can also look at assets held indirectly, such as through trust and company structures. Additionally, UK courts have an international reputation for being free of corruption and able to deal fairly with even the most politically and financially influential people in the world.

Getting divorced in the most advantageous jurisdiction can make a huge difference to the outcome of your case. It can be the difference between getting your fair share and struggling to maintain your existing lifestyle. The impact of jurisdiction on any case will vary and it is vital to get specialist advice if you are contemplating an international divorce.
