International Divorce
We provide
quality legal services specifically tailored for people involved in
international divorces.
Married business and professional
people who spend
lots of time overseas - increasingly the thing to do when building a
business, or just having fun, in the global village - become ever more
subject to an increasing number of legal jurisdictions.
The model
of a family unit that has a single permanent
residency is becoming increasingly outmoded. But, in spite of the trend
towards globalization, there continue to be very sharp differences
between the divorce laws of many different countries -- and even between
the laws of different provinces or states within the same country. In
addition, the procedures of courts in different countries vary
enormously.
As a result,
the decision about which law applies to a
divorce, custody, support or other matrimonial case and the decision as
to which court will hear the case can have an enormous impact on the
eventual outcome of the case. These issues are often extremely complex
and confusing, even to lawyers are very familiar with the laws of their
local jurisdiction.
That's where we come in.
We can help to guide you to the best decision and
then take you through the entire process.
We
have the experience, know-how, international experience and connections
with matrimonial counsel internationally to provide you with appropriate
advice and strong, effective representation. We operate locally in New
York with a global network of correspondents and contacts.
We are extremely experienced in representing
divorcing clients whose affairs are international.
We offer
sensible advice and effective representation to our clients, based on
our great experience in international matrimonial and business matters,
together with plain common sense. We provide an extremely personalized
service, quickly and efficiently. We get the job done for our clients so
that they can get on with their lives.
We consult
with clients who are moving to a new stage
of their lives. Many of them have assets in multiple jurisdictions, have
more than one residency, have business affairs in different locations
and have great concerns about the residency, the custody and the
well-being of their children.
Our clients
are frequently in great need of expert,
practical advice that is based on an understanding of the laws of
different states, provinces or countries. They need our counsel - often
in conjunction with local counsel in other jurisdictions -- to create
intelligent strategies that will lead them most effectively to the
next stages of their lives.
We understand
the concerns of our clients. They are
frequently under unusual stress and sometimes in great crisis. They
require special understanding and support. We also know that divorce
does not exist in a vacuum. We have had our own direct and personal
experiences of divorce and we have a full appreciation of the stresses
and the practicalities of life in the real world. |
