International Divorce

The length of time a divorce takes and its financial implications can vary significantly from one country to another. Yet most people assume they must get divorced in the country they live in. This is not the case, and making the wrong decision about where and how to get divorced could, in some instances, mean the difference between the process taking years rather than months and mean you are left counting the cost.

Once you have made your option, you may be committed to deal with a whole range of other issues according to the law of the country you have chosen. Remember, you only get one chance when filing for divorce, so it’s important you make the right choices at the beginning. Brookman has specialised in international divorce for many years, and we take great care in guiding our clients through the process to achieve the best outcome for them.

We are specialist international divorce lawyers and family solicitors and we advise clients who are either UK-based but originate from another country, or are living outside of the UK but have connection with England or Wales.

We handle cases with connections all over the world, including:

European Union

India and Pakistan

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.
