In the modern world, it is not uncommon for families to have international interests and these can affect you on the breakdown of a relationship or marriage. If you (or your spouse/partner) have financial interests abroad, such as a business or property, or you have lived abroad or travel very regularly for work, it is important to take advice from a family lawyer with experience in international issues of family law. It might be that matters are urgent if there is the potential for your divorce to be heard in an alternative country.
