Marrying Someone Foreign Born? Family Law Thoughts


There may come a time in your life when you need an attorney to get involved in your family life. Whether it be for a marriage, a divorce, or for a reason regarding your kids, these issues become even more complicated when you are working across different countries. For that reason, it is important to get a lawyer that is experienced in working outside the country and with different legal systems. So how do you know if you need an international family law attorney? Here are a couple of reasons.

Marriage

It today's globally interconnected world, it is not uncommon for a man from the United States to marry a woman from Spain while they are in Bermuda. In instances like this, you will need a lawyer that can handle marriage licenses across different countries. Since the laws differ depending on where you go, you will want a lawyer that has experiencing working outside their own country.

Divorce

Let's say that same couple mentioned above decide to travel to New York, where they decide to stay and start a business. After a few years and a healthy business, they leave it to someone else to run and move to Switzerland, where they then start another business. Unfortunately, tough times hit, and they decide to get a divorce. Now a lawyer is going to be needed to help figure out how to divide up the assets. This is even more difficult when you are dealing with assets in other countries.

Your lawyer will also know how to properly file for divorce in whichever country you are living in. Some lawyers specialize in certain countries, so you may want to find one that is pertinent to your situation. For example, if you are living in China, then you will want to contact a Chinese divorce lawyer – like the Ideal Legal Group - to help you handle the proceedings.

If there are children involved in the divorce, a good international family law attorney will also be able to handle any questions regarding custody. Since the two parties may be living in different countries, child custody laws add another element that a regular family law attorney may not be equipped to handle.

Child Abduction

In this scenario, you are definitely going to want a lawyer. With an international child abduction case, the lawyers can work with the different authorities to ensure that everything works out okay. There is a lot of legal things that need to happen in these cases, and you will want someone who has been there before. Child abduction is never something that should be taken lightly, and it grows even more serious when that child is moved to another country. If this should ever happen to you, you will want a good lawyer in your corner.

Prenuptial Agreements

Lastly, if you and your soon-to-be spouse are signing a prenuptial agreement, and you both have assets in different countries, a lawyer will be required to help sort everything out. With a good lawyer you can ensure that the contract is ironclad and suitable to both parties before you sign it. While a normal family law attorney can handle prenuptial agreements, when things go international, it is better to have someone with more expertise.

Get Yourself The Right Attorney


If you think that you may need an international family law attorney, don't settle for one that focuses on domestic cases. An international family law attorney can be of great value to you when you need it, so be sure to get yourself the right kind of attorney.

  2. A lawyer works within a limited-scope representation when handling your uncontested divorce. To me, one of most important thing to consider when choosing whether to proceed with your divorce without a more traditional in-court "fight," is how much you trust your spouse. Divorce Attorney"
