Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Expat Divorce, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Expat divorce covers divorce where one or both parties live or have assets overseas, or where the divorce involves cross‑border elements. A solicitor in this area helps clients navigate English family law while coordinating with foreign jurisdictions. They draft and issue petitions, mediate settlements, and obtain or enforce financial orders and declarations of rights across borders. This work matters because international moves can affect jurisdiction, asset division, and parental rights, and timely, properly drafted orders are crucial for finalising lives overseas.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the provisions, structures and procedures that cross borders: overseas assets, foreign divorce recognitions, international maintenance claims, and dealing with foreign courts or tribunals. They manage the interaction of English law with international private law, negotiate financial settlements, prepare court documents such as consent orders and applications for leave, and coordinate service and enforcement across jurisdictions.

I was going through divorve and having a hard time with solicitors from the other arty. Paris Smith helped cut through the unecessary noise and back my corner. I was having daily panic attacks and waiting weeks for replies from the other firm, only to have to repeat myself. The proocess still tookj far longer than I imagined but I dont feel this was because of my firm, as they dealt with my replies promptly and chased the other firm to wrap things up.

Ajantha Brabaharan

Tagged solicitor Ajantha Brabaharan

Ajantha handled my FLR(M) application as an unmarried partner, and from the moment she took it on she went through everything with me point by point. Nothing was assumed and nothing was left for me to guess at. Every time I contacted her she came back quickly, and the answers were never generic. I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in the US and in Korea over the years, and what stood out here was that she responded to my actual situation rather than reciting the rules back at me. When something was unclear she told me what it meant for me specifically. There were several points where the online system threw errors, and more than a few where the problem was simply my own mistake. I know I made her job harder than it needed to be. She never once let it show. She stayed calm, told me what to do next, and made sure I did not panic about any of it. On more than one occasion she was still helping me well outside office hours. When the decision came through she let me know straight away, before anyone else, and she sounded as pleased about it as I was. That is not something I expected from a solicitor, and after months of waiting it meant a great deal. English is not my first language and immigration rules are hard to follow even in plain English. Ajantha made the whole thing manageable. I will be applying for an extension in a few years and I would not consider going to anyone else. Sincere thank you for everything, Ajantha.

I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful lawyer at BWK; sensitive, tenacious and knowledgeable. She was also careful to minimise the cost of her time. I would not hesitate to use BWK again.

Andrea Bell

Tagged solicitor Andrea Bell

I instructed Hansells for the creation of a health and wealth POA for myself as they are the custodians of my Will. The person dealing with my POA was Andrea Bell who on my arrival put me at ease and was very approachable. During the process of filling in the forms I made a couple of mistakes and again Andrea corrected these for me which made the whole experience less stressful. In my opinion Andrea made an exceptional job of my POA.

Stephanie Buckeridge

Tagged solicitor Stephanie Buckeridge

Dealing with Stephanie Buckeridge in support of my divorce was much easier than I might have expected. Her professional advice, tempered with a supportive approach made the whole process acceptable. Her reaction to some of the requests from the other party matched my thoughts, though I was always provided with alternative approaches, along with potential consequences. I would certainly recommend Gardner Leader to others.

Bethan Davies

Tagged solicitor Bethan Davies

I cannot thank Bethan and her family law team enough. From start to finish, the were professional, compassionate and completely child-focused. Family proceedings can feel overwhelming, but I always felt supported, clearly advised and fully prepared. Their dedication and expertise secured a Special Guardianship Order and name change for my son, giving him the permanence and stability he deserves. The outcome has changed our lives immeasurably. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone facing family court proceedings. Forever grateful.

Tagged solicitors Claire Sargant and Karen Moores

I engaged Karen Moore for divorce proceedings on the recommendation of a friend. I was so pleased I did. Karen was honest forthright and clear. She was totally professional and kept me up to date with everything. I felt she always had my best interest at heart. Although an expensive process she was worth every penny. She was very up front about cost expectation and process. I would have no hesitation it recommending her services. Her supporting team also deserves praise . Thank you for your support during what was a very difficult time.
