Divorcing Abroad

The breakdown of a relationship is painful enough without having to face extra complications. As an expatriate the last thing you need is the added uncertainty of having to deal with a foreign legal system and, besides, where do you actually begin?

How do I get a divorce? Is there an English translation? How much does it cost? Where do I go?

You really don’t need that sort of stress during such a dificult time.

Expat Relationship Disputes

There is a common misunderstanding that if you are a UK citizen living abroad that you can no longer use the Legal System of England and Wales to petition for divorce. This is not the case and Betteridges can deal with all but the most unusual of divorces.

Unfortunately the position is a little more complicated when it comes to cohabitation issues or children matters. Whether or not you can start proceedings in England and Wales will depend a great deal upon the circumstances of your case. If you would like to find out more about one of these issues then you should call the number below to speak with a member of our team.
