FAQ: Where should my international divorce take place?

Rather than simply getting divorced in the country that you married in or where you have lived for the duration of your marriage, choosing where your international divorce takes place can actually be complicated. The reality is that multiple countries may be able to process your divorce, although how they process it and the outcomes can vary greatly from country to country.

Take some time to consider the different divorce laws and processes in any potential locations before you make a decision. Where you may end up with an agreeable outcome in one country, the outcome in another could be vastly different.

We suggest you speak to an international divorce solicitor who can advise you of the options available and the process and requirements of each.
