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 foreign jurisdictions (and you may be
considering adopting a child from abroad) then our team of
specialists will guide you through the options available to you in
the English and Welsh courts.
We are able to offer advice on the following:
- the correct procedure and grounds where there
is a jurisdiction conflict
- the correct forum
- dealing with foreign property within a
relationship breakdown and securing the same by court proceedings
or otherwise
- adoption when bringing the child from
abroad
- the stages and procedures of the proceedings
both here and abroad
- drafting and negotiating pre-nuptial or
community of property agreements
- enforceability in different
jurisdictions
- children issues, such as those arising out of The Hague
Convention and disputes over country of residence
