International divorce
Divorce is complicated enough without the added challenges of international assets, dual citizenships, and multiple residencies abroad. If you or your spouse are considering filing for divorce and you have global connections, you are strongly advised to consult an attorney with experience in this complex area of the law. Our attorneys are experienced in all aspects of family law, from domestic cases to complex international divorce matters.
International divorces often involve unique challenges, including navigating different countries’ laws, which can significantly impact issues such as alimony. Alimony obligations can become more complex in an international divorce, especially when determining which jurisdiction’s laws apply. Additionally, if you are considering divorce, mediation can often provide a less adversarial solution, helping both parties reach an agreement without lengthy court battles.
Child custody arrangements can be further complicated when international borders are involved. Our firm provides assistance in a wide range of family law matters, including child custody and support. Understanding child support obligations across borders requires specialized legal knowledge, making it essential to have a skilled attorney guiding you through the process.
In cases where there are substantial assets or business interests in multiple countries, having an experienced legal team is crucial. We are here to help you navigate these complex issues, ensuring that your rights and interests are protected throughout the divorce process.
At DAME Legal, we pride ourselves on our knowledge of the intricacies in international divorce cases. When you choose one of our attorneys to represent your case, you can be confident that we will be attentive to every detail to protect your rights and assets so that the outcome serves you best.
When you file for divorce in a marriage with international implications, your representation should have reputable knowledge of multiple jurisdictions. Filing in one jurisdiction versus another impacts more than the ease with which the marriage can be dissolved. Some jurisdictions have different rules and responsibilities for the divorcing parties.
Choosing the right jurisdiction to file for divorce could make all the difference in a favorable outcome. When you select the skilled team of lawyers at DAME Legal to represent you in your international divorce proceedings, you are arming yourself with a strategic game plan for getting the results you desire.

Whether your spouse has filed against you or you are contemplating filing for divorce, it is important to reach out to our team of international divorce lawyers. We will guide you through the consideration of all the minutiae of your complicated case, including:
- Forum selection

- International divorce jurisdiction
- Staying or objecting to the jurisdiction
- The grounds for divorce
- Choice of law issues
- Division of assets
- Procedural issues in foreign jurisdictions
- International spousal support
- Any other issues that may arise throughout the planning for international divorce
While all of these issues hold their own degree of importance, forum selection is arguably the most critical issue for your representation to consider in international divorce cases. Due to the vast variation in the laws between many traditional European countries and the more progressive common-law nations, forum selection and a deep understanding of the variances in the laws of different jurisdictions are crucial, yet complex, components to international divorce proceedings.
At DAME Legal, our lawyers put their hard-earned knowledge of the legal system to use to achieve the results our clients deserve. Your attorney will work tirelessly to select the proper forum for your international divorce so that we can expedite, calculate, and work toward dissolving your marriage and moving forward.
