In this episode of Beyond Borders: International Family Law, we explore the unique challenges of dividing property and finances when a relationship spans more than one country. From real estate and businesses to investments and superannuation, cross-border settlements often involve navigating differing legal systems, disclosure obligations, and tax consequences.

We unpack the topic through the lens of expert insight for the layperson - highlighting the practical challenges that arise including when a spouse may be concealing overseas assets. Our guests discuss the importance of working with an internationally experienced family law specialist who can draw on a global network, including private investigators and accountants, to trace assets to ensure proper disclosure, and initiate proceedings in the most appropriate jurisdiction.

You'll also hear about why Australia's strict disclosure rules don’t always apply overseas, potential tax consequences involved in cross-border settlements and freezing international assets.

If you're navigating an international separation, this episode is essential listening to understand why early legal advice from a globally connected Australian family law expert can make all the difference.

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 London, UK and Steven Mindel of FMBK Law in California, USA.
