International Family Law
Marriage between couples of different nationalities is becoming increasingly common. However any subsequent separation can raise difficult issues for both parties, especially if children are involved.
For example, which country has jurisdiction for any divorce action? Or in which country should a court decide the future residence of any children?
We have strong connections with family lawyers in several different countries. Through our network we can quickly establish which jurisdiction will be best for you and your children. We can also advise you fully on your rights and obligations in relation to international matters.
The law relating to divorce differs depending on whether matters are dealt with under Scots Law of English Law. One of our partners is qualified to practise in both jurisdictions and has been involved in a number of cases with cross-border elements.
