Jurisdiction In An International Divorce
The first consideration in an international divorce case involves jurisdiction – that is, which state or country’s laws will govern the divorce and which courts will handle the case? Establishing jurisdiction requires addressing multiple factors, including:
- The spouses’ countries of residence and how long they’ve lived there
- The locations of marital assets
- The nationalities of each party
Mia and her team can advise you of the jurisdictional considerations in your case.
Dividing International Business Assets In A Divorce
Addressing business interests through equitable distribution can be complicated – all the more so in cases involving international business assets. It requires a thorough understanding of the legal frameworks of the countries where the assets are located, as well as knowledge of international tax implications and business valuation methods. Lawyer Mia Poppe and her team can untangle these intricacies.
Dividing International Real Estate Assets In A Divorce
Similar to business assets, international real estate must be handled with great care. Issues such as valuation, potential tax consequences and logistical challenges of managing or selling foreign property must all be addressed.
Child Custody In An International Divorce
Child custody in an international context involves considering the child’s best interests across different cultural and legal environments. Factors such as the child’s habitual residence, parental rights under applicable law and international child abduction laws may play significant roles in these decisions.
