Filing for Divorce: One or Both Spouses in Foreign Countries

Need a lawyer for an international divorce in Culver City? An international divorce, whether one or both parties live outside the USA, or the marriage took place in a foreign country, can require a high level of legal experience in international divorce. The issue of jurisdiction is the first matter to resolve. A couple may have met in the USA or in a foreign country, gotten married and then moved to the Southern California area, and now face the problem of marriage dissolution.


These can be extremely complex issues, particularly when children are involved, and there are assets in other countries that must be valued. Matters of jurisdiction and how to sort out all the issues in the divorce will require an international divorce lawyer. At Widger & Widger, APLC, our Culver City international divorce lawyer should review your situation and advise you how your divorce should be initiated.
