International Divorce Lawyers
Divorce in England and Wales is a reasonably straightforward procedure. The only ground for a divorce is on the basis of irreconcilable breakdown of marriage. This can be based on either adultery, unreasonable behaviour, desertion for more than 2 years, 2 years separation with the other party's consent or 5 years separation. Unless basing the petition on 2 years separation you do not require the other party's agreement.
Usually the divorce process takes between 3 to 6 months. Usually no court attendance is necessary during the whole process. We are experts in resolving problems such as where the other party cannot be found; or arising from foreign and international marriages. |

International Divorce - Scenario Analysis Example
Mr G is a UK resident. Seven years ago when working in the Emirates he married a US citizen. They married in Cyprus and subsequently lived together for two years before his wife returned to the US. He has lost touch with her and mail to her parents address is returned with a note "she wants nothing to do with you".
Our Solution:
Mr G applied for a divorce in England on the basis of 5 years separation, although the marriage was in Cyprus. We obtained an Order from the court deeming that it was enough to post the divorce papers to his wife's parents because even though she would not acknowledge receipt, undoubtedly her parents would pass them on. This was done and we obtained the divorce.
