'In this episode, we provide a vital introduction for separating couples who may be navigating the complex world of international family law. Whether you're living abroad, married to a partner from another country, or have recently moved across borders, understanding the key legal differences between the Australian, UK and US systems can have a significant impact on your divorce or separation outcomes.  We’ll touch on why it’s crucial to know which country’s laws will apply to your case and how jurisdiction is determined, setting the scene for future episodes on financial and property settlements, custody arrangements, spousal support and prenups.

Host and family lawyer Antonia Marron is joined by leading international family law experts and Fellows of the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL) Susan Warda of Mills Oakley Sydney, Clare Wiseman of Irwin Mitchell in the UK and Steven Mindel of FMBK Law in the US.
