Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Divorce with an International Angle, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Divorce with an international angle covers cases where a marriage is dissolved and foreign elements matter, such as jurisdiction, recognition of a foreign divorce, or assets and children moving across borders. A solicitor in this area helps with issuing or defending petitions where one party lives abroad, or where foreign divorce decrees must be recognised or registered in England and Wales. They also handle cross‑border financial settlement issues, child arrangements with overseas elements, and enforcement of foreign orders in English courts.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor identifies which country’s rules apply to the divorce petition, coordinates service and timing across borders, and uses instruments such as the Matrimonial Causes Act and international instruments (for example, the Brussels IIa Regulation historically, and Hague conventions) to secure recognition or enforcement. They draft and negotiate consent orders, apply for or respond to overseas orders, and liaise with foreign lawyers, Central Authority units, and UK government bodies when needed to protect the client’s interests and ensure enforceability of orders in England and Wales.

Melanie Hamer

Tagged solicitor Melanie Hamer

A family friend and several acquaintances recommended Melanie Hamer at Wendy Hopkins and I fully endorse their opinions as I am indebted to Melanie and her Team for taking on my case. I was unfortunately positioned by another Family Lawyer in a rather precarious position just weeks ahead of my FDR. It became apparent that my former legal representation were positioning to withdraw their support and would not meet to face-to-face to discuss strategy. Despite the complexity and longevity of the case, Melanie and her Team were able to reassure me that they could provide support and more importantly prepare for the FDR. At extreme short notice with 12 lever arch files to digest, Melanie and the Team reacted swiftly and successfully represented me at FDR. There were further legal quality gates that had to be navigated, yet the dedication, professionalism and competence demonstrated by Melanie and her Team ensured that we were fully prepared for Counsel briefings and were consequently able to deliver at Court. Melanie is an excellent listener, shows empathy for her clients and respected my opinions. Strategizing together was personally paramount throughout my litigation and Melanie had faith, belief and trust in my approach which was so important. Reassuring, tenacious, professional, knowledgeable, engaging and being prepared to meet in person were several of the attributes I appreciated from working with Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice. On reflection, I wish I had contracted Melanie and The Team from the outset of my case and I fully recommend them if you wish to work collaboratively, effectively and with a complete professional who is compassionate and reassuring

Lindsay McKinnie

Tagged solicitor Lindsay McKinnie

I cannot be more grateful to Lindsay, throughout a very distressing time. To say the least I would recommend her 100%! Her conduct was not only very professional, but kind and down to earth. She made my family feel valued and supported. Lindsays communication with us was constant, replying by text, when she was unable to speak directly, giving reassurance when needed. She communicated everything we needed to know, throughly & made sure everything was understood, at every point of her service. At no point did we feel that there were any concerns of neglect, towards us or the situation we were dealing with. Lindsay remained focused and gave us peace of mind. This meant so much & was so important. Thank you!

Chris TaylorZahra Nawaz

Tagged solicitors Chris Taylor and Zahra Nawaz

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eaton Smith twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. Chris assisted me with the EULA for my indie game, and his kindness, thoroughness, and incredibly fast email responses made the entire process seamless. Later, when I needed a solicitor for my prenup, I immediately turned to Chris, who connected me with Zahra. She was just as professional and kind, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She even caught an error in our documents at 8 PM on a Friday and reached out immediately to help us fix it. Their level of attentiveness and professionalism is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal services.

Hannah Gumbrill-WardRobert Williams

Tagged solicitors Hannah Gumbrill-Ward and Robert Williams

I received excellent family law advice from Hannah over a 2 1/2 year period as I went through a divorce. What was slightly unusual was that I was based overseas so our communication was almost entirely by email with the occasional client call but that didn't prevent her from understanding the dynamics of my case, forming an excellent client relationship and providing sound advice. With an up-to-date knowledge of the law, Hannah had a good grip of strategy and an intuitive approach. She could be tough when she needed to be. Hannah and senior partner Robert Williams worked well as a team, guiding me through the process from the traumatic early days through the various decisions, setbacks and milestones to a mutually agreed negotiated solution that avoided the expense of court.

Nicola Weeks

Tagged solicitor Nicola Weeks

Pragmatic but essential guidance through divorce proceedings. It was very important to both of us that we didn't fall out and make a bad situation worse, and Nicola worked with me and my now ex-wife's solicitor to ensure that any queries or potentially contentious issues were quickly and positively closed down. The orders were proposed and agreed promptly and the whole exercise was as painless as it could be in the circumstances.
