My article on Strategic Planning for International Divorces is published in the new issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.

I explain in the article that lawyers representing clients with significant international connections who are contemplating a divorce may have a duty to provide strategic advice about the various potential divorce forums. They may even have a duty to advise clients about how to restructure their circumstances so as to facilitate alternative divorce jurisdictions.

I contend that such duties exist and that such advice is often necessary to protect the interests of international clients.
