In this episode of Beyond Borders, we delve into the complexities of international divorce and separation, focusing on the unique challenges faced by individuals navigating divorce across different jurisdictions. We explore the intricacies of jurisdictional conflicts and how to decide the best place to file for divorce, particularly when parties are married in one country and seek divorce in another, including same-sex couples. We’ll also discuss the recognition of foreign marriages and the varying requirements for marriage in Australia, the UK, and the US.

Listen as we unpack the importance of establishing domicile, understanding the most favourable jurisdiction for filing, and the role of limitation periods in financial settlements. We’ll cover how defacto couples living abroad handle separation, and the growing influence of technology in streamlining the divorce process outside of the courtroom, especially with the increase in divorce applications.

With insights into delays across jurisdictions and strategies for protecting a client’s reputation—especially for high-profile clients—we provide a comprehensive guide to navigating the international divorce landscape. Don’t miss this essential conversation on cross-border family law issues and non-court dispute resolution options!

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.
