If you are a foreign national, married or in a relationship with
a foreign national, or have lived for a substantial period of time
abroad, then any relationship breakdown will involve decisions over
where proceedings should be issued and the steps to take to ensure
that you obtain the best possible outcome. If there are already
proceedings in another country, our team of specialists can help to
advise you.
In particular, our team is experienced in dealing with:
- cases with a Welsh element and the variation and enforcement of
foreign orders in the English and Welsh courts
- the enforcement of orders abroad generally
- individuals who wish to adopt a child from abroad
- advising on whether marriages and divorces that took place
abroad are valid in the UK
- advising on whether religious marriages and divorces in the UK
are valid for example, a 'talak' (an Islamic Divorce)
- individuals who wish to move a child from a
previous relationship abroad.
