International Divorce Lawyers: England & Belgium
====================================================



Vardags is a leading family and divorce law firm for high-net-worth clients with links to both Belgium and England or Wales - including Belgian nationals living in the UK, and British nationals living in Belgium. Clients in this position may have the freedom to choose where to file for divorce.

Since the legal systems in Belgium and England operate differently, the financial outcome of a divorce will likely vary significantly depending on where it is heard - and on whether you are the economically stronger or weaker party. Vardags can advise you on which jurisdiction is likely to produce the better outcome based on a detailed evaluation of your specific circumstances.

If you have already received a divorce petition in either country, it may still be possible to challenge jurisdiction and pursue proceedings in the more favourable forum. Even if you have already finalised your divorce in Belgium, this does not necessarily draw a line under your financial claims. In certain circumstances, English courts can enhance or supplement an earlier award.

Complex international divorce matters can be highly time-sensitive - it is important to contact Vardags before your spouse does.
