Even if you and your ex-spouse have already been granted a divorce in another country, if you have strong links with England and Wales it may be possible for the English/Welsh Courts to deal with any financial matters arising from your divorce. Using the English and Welsh legal system is often much quicker, cheaper and more effective than attempting to use your local jurisdiction and in many instances expats can be prevented from doing so.
It is also worth noting that it may be financially advantageous to divorce here, so it is important to seek advice from a specialist expat and international divorce lawyer before issuing proceedings.
