When choosing where you should get divorced, there are lots of things to consider. It’s best to choose the country where you can get the best outcome. Each country has different rules about how assets should be divided, and our Lawyers can help you to understand how these rules impact your own individual circumstances.
Because the divorce process is different in each country, it can get quite complex outside of England and Wales. So when choosing to get divorced outside of the UK, you should get legal advice about whether it’s more beneficial for you to get divorced here in England and Wales.
When getting a cross border divorce it’s important to think about:
How much it will cost
How long the divorce will take
Which jurisdiction will put you in a better position when settling your finances
If the country recognises your marriage – some countries don’t recognise civil partnerships or same sex marriages
The language barrier which could make the process longer
