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.
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.

Tagged solicitor Angie Brown
Having dealt with Solicitors previously, I cannot honestly express how much Angie Brown of Emerald Law Solicitors has gone above and beyond the call of duty in order to help me in a very difficult situation. Not just helpful with legal advice, but also mindful of a client's peace of mind. Truly extraordinary !
