Top 10 of 4,159 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.

I have used these solicitors 3 times for all my cases and I can’t thank them enough for all the help and compassion they have shown me over the years. If I ever find myself in a situation where I need a solicitor again I will 100% come back to these. 100% recommend for anyone who have child law issues.
